No matter how many times
you get thrown in the pit
you will still rise to the top
of that pit.
No cistern, slavery, prison, suffering and world famine
can confine
the blessings that come from the divine.
No matter what happens to you
it will only aid in your dreams
coming true.

Remembering a dream...
when her heart stopped
my heart started
she sleeps forever
i am finally awake
but i can never wake up from this nightmare
only to saddness from this good dream
my heart started
she sleeps forever
i am finally awake
but i can never wake up from this nightmare
only to saddness from this good dream
i never want to forget her
she's slipping away...
but i won't let her.

Sweet dreams...
I woke up in the morning and forgot that you were gone for, in my memory, you just fell asleep...
Years ago feel like yesterday
Like hours of sleep feel like minutes passed
It feels like I may have dreamt her... for everything about her was perfect.

Always in my wildest dreams
So many amazing, unbelievable, things happen to people who, when asked if they ever dreamed this would happen to them, say: "never in my wildest dreams!" or "I didn't even have the capacity to dream or even think this big!" or "I had never even imagined this was even possible!". Often these things happen to the unsuspecting, "humble", folks...
But for me it's gonna be different because, one day, when people ask me if I ever dreamed this would happen, I'm gonna say "Yes". It may not sound as "humble" as being totally oblivious to a miracle but, I will say "Yes", and I'll be proud of it because only a dreamer can say that! Most people don't know what it takes to be a dreamer and how strong you have to be to protect and hold onto your dream. Dreaming isn't easy and it's not for the faint of heart. It requires guts to open up the deepest part of your heart and soul and risk it's vulnerability to the possibility of disappointment and destruction.
Most people don't know what it really is to dream. A dream isn't just something that you think up for fun because you don't believe it will ever happen. A dream is actually something that you truly believe in, in the center of your being, even though there is no physical proof or logic to reassure you. It appears to have no safety net because it is a gamble (and it's all or nothing!). A dream is a walk (and sometimes a marathon) in the darkness led only by your gut. A dream is a life line that consumes the life you have now. It is a future!
Most people don't realize that the fact that you dreamed it first means so much more--not only because of WHAT it is that happened but WHY--because you KNEW it would--and because of HOW it came to BE.
When all the odds were stacked against it far before it came true, in the end it made it, and survived the journey just like you! To me, the fact that you had the ability to reach for and the capacity to believe in the impossible; the endurance to keep going when it still didn't happen yet after years of trying; the perseverance through the hardest times when that dream was the only thing left of your life to live for; the fact that you still held onto it; and the fact that you recognized it was REAL and, above all, treasured that sacred knowledge; makes you more deserving of that miracle than anyone who NEVER SAW IT COMING.

yet.
What is reality?
This is not reality
I am not these rags
I am not this humble dwelling made of wood that the termites have turned into brittle paper
I am not poor
I am not just a dying shell whose flesh is aging
I am not this person who people look down on
I am not nobody
I am not the unsuccessful, not trying, loser
I am not this nonliving being
I was not created to die
This is not reality
But neither is that.
That is dreams
That is all that I am
That is a bunch of things that hasn't happened yet
That is a bunch of things just waiting to come true
That is my purpose
That is my future
That is my fortune cookie
I have life inside me
It is invisible but it moves the physical
I am an invisible being
I am this living being!
I was not made to not live!
I was made to live!
What is reality?
This is not reality
--But neither is that
Reality is nothing
because it means nothing to me.
Reality is as non existent as the invisible of what is yet to come!
