Dream

I wrote this with the help of a very dear friend, and beautiful soul, a high school buddy and today a man of which I am immensely proud , for he is a beautiful loving and generous father, a human I have always admired from the age of 14, and a person to this day I hold the utmost respect for.

I was doing my usual overthinking and reflection about life, about love, a discussion I openly shared with him and I was stuck on a line. We were hungover on his apartment balcony in Broadbeach, smoking cigarettes and musing life as we often did.

At this point my mate offered up a quote from Chief Crowfoot (1830 – 25 April 1890) of the Siksika First Nation and this piece was free.

“A little while and I will be gone from among you, whither I cannot tell. From nowhere we come, into nowhere we go. What is life? It is a flash of firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”

Chief Crowfoot

Dream it

See it in your mind, it is yours

Its like the little shadow chasing in the grass, loosing itself in the sunset*

Feel it

Like the sun warms your skin

Seize it

It is yours, keep clear that picture and hold close that feeling

Recreate it

Its like being alive twice

Take this day and cast your spell on it

If you can dream it, you can do it.

The empire of your future resides in your mind.

Write it

Your story the way you create your life

Take your creation, and write you a life of dreams Take that which you imagine and actualise

Let your dreams become your goals.

Believe it

You can write you a world today as if you are already moving about in paradise.
