Dunno....

"I Do Not Know..."

Eyes wide open, yet tightly closed
Bereft of a gift that yet remains
Ignorant, although well aware of it
These things I have done to me.

A halfway spirit, knowing what it needs
Whose comforts calling like sirens song
Sets down his rucksack in mid-trail
For fear of having to carry on.

What worth the blindness I bid myself
When I could cast it off for that which means
That I could one day live the life
That I have glimpsed within my dreams?

But yet false solace, easily had
Supplants the future person I see
As though I truly didn't want it
Regardless it could set me free

Can my will be broken then,
That I will not that which I must be?
Having seen it many times before -
What is this that has it's way with me???



Have you ever had an idea, or a dream (or daydream) that you wanted to make happen, and it chased you for a long time? A project that you wanted to build, like the "Travel Truck" that I have in the back of my mind (sort of a stretched F350, with an RV body on it)

What's stopping you?

Hmm???

Money and time usually, one or the other or both. Sometimes other resources can't be found like expertise etc. Of course sometimes that can be bought with enough money. Sometimes health or the body or mind fails also. When it gets down to all of the above things look bad for dreams. Follow your dreams before you run out of resources.

Following our dreams is what we are born for

And we all know, we only have a certain amount of time


Dreams do not happen if we only have them
They become reality only if we chase them
Therefore follow them quickly and closely
Lest the possibility should escape...
