Quiet Dreams

"Many people get caught up in day-to-day living and put their dreams on hold."
—John King, Media Planner, Fallon Worldwide
I received this quote in my email from Fast Company today. It stopped me in my tracks. I am a dreamer from way back. I like to accomplish my dreams. However, I frequently plant them like seeds, only to be returned to later. I check back in on them to see if they have taken root. I nurture them.

Sometimes, I do get caught up in the day-to-day. Sadly, it demands my attention louder than my dreams. Dreams are quiet and soft like clouds. They are unassuming. They are patient. They feather in the winds of my life. They change and morph over time. They are there if I remember to look up. However, that's the tough part. To remember to look up.
