Dream a little dream. But if you dare to dream, why not dream up big ones right?
I have come to a certain point in life where the days are long and boring. I assume everyone have had these kinds of days. The hours drag on to days, days into uneventful weeks and weeks into unmemorable months.
If you were to ask, was it because of a broken heart? Certainly not. Was it because of work? No, wrong again. Was it because of health? Still the answer is no.
In the arts, there is this theory called creative tension. It is the gap that is present between our reality, the now or the present and our vision. It this momentary lapse or rest if your prefer it where it seems things that have going for sometimes ceased or lost direction. It seems that the Emerald City is a far vision as we trudge upon our own Yellow Brick Road.
Am I the Scarecrow? Am I the Tin Man? Am I the Cowardly Lion? Am I Wendy? To what end and purpose an I walking this Yellow Brick for? The Emerald City seems to be a mirage in the desert at this point.
But we must always dare to dream. Dream a little dream or dream up big ones. I guess that it is only way we learn to find ourselves and reinvent ourselves. We learn to refocus our energy and motivate ourselves.
It can be quite hard to do, if you think you have grown tired and weary, if you feel jaded and worn out. It is so easy to feel dissatisfied and disenchanted with life.
Still, what else is there to do? Start dreaming. Start dreaming small or large. Start dreaming up that diamond ring you want to personally pick out and give to you beau. Start envisioning that getaway that you always wanted to have – think of Maldives and the perfect white beaches, think of Africa and wild surrounding you, and think of Italy and that ride to countryside.
Dream perhaps of changing careers, a violinist or cello player for an orchestra, a road manager for a rock band, or a food critic touring the best restaurants all over the world. Dream of painting your own portrait you’ll be leaving behind or thousand prints of you that you’ll share to the world. Wholesale custom printing and a thousand and one print you’ll be throwing up into the air atop your apartment building.
Let your portrait, your digital artwork, your message rain down on the people below like confetti. Share your thoughts. Share your dreams. Share a little passion. Live a little drama. Live life one moment at a time.
Write a song you’ll never hear played. Study pottery without being a potter. Cook for no one but yourself. Dance like they are only playing for you. Be your own audience. Just be.
