See the world

May 16, 2011 Leave a comment

When I attended High school in California for a semester at age 14, I got the gift of some very distinct memories that stuck with me.

  • First,  I’m not a fan of waterbeds.
  • Second, It’s fairly insane to send teenagers to school.
  • Third, I can sleep just about anywhere, anytime.
  • But then, the real one…….

In the office of one of the teachers, there was a huge map of the world on the wall, on it where pins, and tiny flags showing where the teacher had been (there were a-lot of them), and below the map was a big banner with the words “SEE THE WORLD BEFORE YOU LEAVE IT”.

Now this was one of those times where I got a feeling for the possibilities in life, a feeling that I’d had since early childhood, one of limitlessness, of anything being possible if only I dare dream it. And it is that feeling, one that transcends the physical, one that I sense when I imagine Einstein’s theory of relativity, one that makes it possible for me to be present on the other side of the world, not in a bodily sense, in a spiritual way, right here, right now.

You see, I don’t believe that dreams aren’t real, and I’d say when your life is more recurring than your dreams, it’s time to look at which one is real.

As a wise man once said on living your dreams “those who say it can’t be done should not interrupt those who are doing it”.

Sweet dreams.
