Somewhere Over The Rainbow Lies My Dream.

(Today I saw a rainbow on my way to work and I was happy the rest of the day.)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

- music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E.Y Harburg


Somewhere over the rainbow
Lies my dream
I've been chasing it ever since
I saw my first rainbow
And my dream.

The Succession Of Changes From The Cradle To The Grave.

(Today I visited my father's grave.)

“Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.”

- Charles Dickens


But the succession of living to the dead cannot be said to be gentle or easy, and we marked clearly the end of that progress.

“If you're still hanging onto a dead dream of yesterday, laying flowers on its grave by the hour, you cannot be planting the seeds for a new dream to grow today”

- Joyce Chapman


I know I should be starting a new dream, but my heart says "hang to the old dream a little longer."

You May Say I'm A Dreamer

Imagine

John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...


Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...


You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one


Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...


You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one



Imagine...

Dreams & Dreamers

"I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"

- Edgar Allen Poe, American poet

A dream realized is no longer a dream. That is why a dream will always remain a dream within a dream.

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."

- Oscar Wilde


A dreamer was there first.
