"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." ~Annie Dillard
In that case, if I were to be given a choice, I would choose to spend my days dreaming.
Dream big; Dream loud; Dream of the uncharted and the unimaginable. To let my thoughts wander over to the unthinkable. Explore the horizons and delve into the darkness.
Fantasize and Romanticize. Dream hard and Dream with all my heart. Run to my safe place - my mind - and within it's confines I can slow down and let the whispers grow their voices; just take a pause on a whim and let things seep and condense. Nurture baby hopes with the power of imagination. A place where creativity can thwart logic and reality.
Dream the impossible into something possible.
Oh to be a dreamer.
Yet at the end of the day, dreamers never accomplish anything at all, do they? Because Do-ers are the ones who take dreams and make them a reality. They're the ones who accomplish tasks. Because they take actions. Their name says it all. They Do.
But is it really so bad to not have accomplished something "tangible"? What if what you're trying to accomplish isn't something that you have to see come to fruition in reality? What if the joy of dreaming, the joy from dreaming, is the achievement?
What then?
