Dreams bring our lives to life. They make “doing” the focus.
Nostalgia isn’t the memory of better times. The good ole days weren’t all that good. It’s the call from a time when we were brave enough… or crazy enough to dream.
Maybe you followed some of those dreams… and maybe you got slapped around a bit. And now you’re sane… and smart… and afraid. You’re NOT gonna fall for the banana in the tail pipe again.
But the problem with being smart and sane is that it’s predictable and boring. It draws from the past… what’s been done. And that makes it seem like our life is behind us. So we long for the time when we didn’t feel that way.
Maybe it’s not so crazy and dumb to be crazy and dumb. Maybe it’s time to dream again.
