"Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly."
Langston Hughes (1902 -1967) US poet, writer, editor

Oh my yes...dream big, dream often, dream ... dream...


Exerpted from "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen ... I love what he says about dreamers. I have posted it before but it is worth repeating ...

How are you lovely?


"The dreamers are the saviours of the
world. As the visible world is sustained
by the invisible, so men, through all
their trials and sins and sordid
vocations, are nourished by the beautiful
visions of their solitary dreamers.
Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it
cannot let their ideals fade and die;
it lives in them; it knows them as the
realities which it shall one day see and
know.

Composer, sculptor, painter, poet,
prophet, sage, these are the makers of
the after-world, the architects of heaven.
The world is beautiful because they
have lived; without them, laboring
humanity would perish."

Today I cannot dream
It hurts deep in my soul,
My life is feeling lonely
My heart it isnt whole

I used to dream of good things
of love laughtfer and life
But today I have no dream
I'm feeling such to much strife

Lady Art Gurl.

You are always so elegant.

Thank you for your grace
& inspiration, as always...
With lots of love and respect ....

My life is bittersweet ... enough sweet to counteract the bitter most days ... and there is much that doesn't taste good right now... but dream I will ... because I can... that is a gift to all of humanity...for no other reason but because I can...we all can...

Dream and take the path less traveled...it will make all the difference...
Happy dreamy day to all

I'm going to have to do a little research because there are some poems & quotes on the edge of my heart that I would like to share with you Art Gurl and with Smiles 2b4u ...

and to anyone else who struggles at times, whose strengths & emotions also wax & wane, much like the phases of the moon, running the full spectrum of emotions, & thought processes...




I have some errands to run and want to ponder these thoughts, today and do some homework and find some other quotes and poems appropriate to help inspire and encourage...

HOLD FAST TO YOUR DEAREST AND MOST PRECIOUS DREAMS...
MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS...I LOVE YOU & WISH YOU SO WELL.

Repunzel, glad to receive...need support right now, bad

I shall wait with an open heart Rapunzel

dream a little dream of me

"KEEP UR DREAMS LIKE UR REAL FRIENDS." FRANK

Dear People,
Art Gurl and Smiles2b4u, I have been thinking of you and told you I was going to get back to you...Please forgive me...
I have had some interruptions to my daily schedule and I don't like makingt promises I can't keep, so I wanted to get back to you because I do care...
I cannot find the books I wanted to glean a bounty of gems from, and my memory doesn't always serve me as well as I would like it too....
So, If you will I hope our conversation can be continued at a l;ater date and I care about all the adversities that everyone is going through...
I wanted to refer you to another thread io have been active in, if you feel like...It is a tribute to Brigade, one of JSH's So, my dear friends,members who has just gone off to war...
" This is for Brigade" started by Snuggles...
is the title of it in the general section
of the community forum...
there are some lovely messages of encouragement
and hope from so many of the members here
and I've included poems in there
and words to songs that encourage me
in times of challenge and adversity...
and some fun things to lighten up the mood.
I hope they will bring you some joy & comfort...
I have stuff going on this weekend...
I've included an entry in the Brigade thread...
So, dear friends
Until we meet again

Love & hugs...
Vanessa
