Sam there comes a time when the world no longer needs heroes. And then the true hero knows to walk away.

Sing to me she said. That would be valiant to raise your voice in this dark lonely place and it will be useful as well. Sing to me sing loudly-drown out my dreams keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it. Sing to me my lord prince if it please you. It may not seem a heros task but I would be glad of it.

YOUR DREAMS WANT YOU. YOUR DREAMS LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE IT.

You might think Ive got time to follow my dreams. You dont have time. Life is short. The current life expectancy is 24869 days. While some of us will live more days and some fewer either way you have only a precious number of days to live this life and so you do not have time to put off your dreams. It is now or never. If you dont do it now you will keep putting it off and youll never do it. The time is now

I had a dream about you. You were trying to swim across the Atlantic Ocean and I figured Id help you out so I brought a bucket to the beach and scooped out about a gallon of sea water. I was pleased with myself because now youd have that much less water to swim through. People have drowned on a gallon of water so its very likely I saved your life. But I didnt do it to be honored like a hero though a parade would be nice. I did it for the free meals and the discounted sex.

In something that gives a focus to all the other things he knows to be real. Something that makes unseen things manifest and allows him to come to his hopes and dreams through his outer eye and through the touch and feel of his natural hand.
