Two Lines Emerged...

as I was falling asleep on the couch today. They simply appeared somehow when I wasn't thinking of them at all, and at that moment their meaning was deeply engrained in the understanding of my subconscious:

Dream but do not become a Dreamer.
Hope but do not become Hopeful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And this is what I realized:

One MUST dream of the impossible in order to grow in a meaningful way, to climb the evolutionary ladder. One MUST be receptive and open to new ideas, to change, and to the unimaginable developments of the imagination. But the line is so thin, and one will be lost forever if he makes dreaming his occupation. To live and die in dreams is to miss, as my good friend once said to me, "the living dreams of refined life."

So, hope for the sake of expanding your boundaries. Hope for the sake of encouraging your ACTION to attain a meaningful LIFE in BECOMING who you want to BE. But never make a living out of hoping. Never live within the boundaries of your hopes, because true LIFE is contained without them, in the dire realm of hopelessness. It is here that hopes are most beautiful, where complete acceptance becomes YOU, and YOU become ONE with the immovable realm of WHAT IS...
