Dreams do that. They lie out there like the waves glinting on the water and move….ever so subtly through the back of my mind. No matter what I’m doing, I’m aware of those dreams, clicking like a wave on the shore, rippling underneath and giving energy and motion to my days.
Whether I’m washing dishes, doing yoga, reading a book, watching TV, driving, even playing Words With Friends, my dreams are discreetly powering the activity. I think that’s why there are so many posts on Facebook about never giving up on your dreams. You garner powerful energy from always having them beckoning you to keep trying, keep moving.
I’m a big believer in not giving up on something you believe in. Time goes by. Obstacle after obstacle slows you down. Realizing a dream requires tremendous patience. Turn these impediments around and make them foster life-giving energy. The pushing through, the propelling, like the constant movement of the waves on the water, infuses us with energy.
And so, as another day goes by, again, I repeat the signature that has graced my emails and propelled me through many hard, long days….”You can’t give up on the things you love – not ever.” ~ Charlotte, Private Practice, and…I have written.
This photo and poem by my yoga buddy, Gaile Jucenas Callo Nolan, inspired this post. It was a beautiful collaboration. Thanks, Gaile!
