@ ease.

in peace. calm. relaxed.
be prayerful. that's all.

i'm going to pull an all nighter.
get ready for church in a few hours.
the weather is going to be terrible.
should be fun.

just another day around the way.
i look forward to sundays all week.

dreaming is like blowing air into a balloon.
you can only hope for so much to come true.
your expectations have to be tempered and paced.
otherwise it all blows up in your face.

pipe dreams are only in pipes
because they're the dreams we flushed down the toilet.
they pass us by along with our dead goldfish.
dream. flush.
goldfish. flush.
dream. flush.
goldfish. flush.
dreams and goldfish are a lot alike, i suppose.
childish things, really.
things we grow out of.
things that keep us entertained.

but there's so much more to this life than dreams.
aspirations to acquire things we don't need.
maybe that's the most important realization i'll ever make.
what difference does it make whether i'm rich or poor in the end?

while i say this, i acknowledge dreams are an important facet of society.
dreams are important to a lot of people.
it's just that i'm also acknowleding my acceptance of the fact that it's irrelevant.
whether i fulfill 100 dreams or 0 dreams today won't matter tomorrow.

so now, it's time to make a difficult a decision.
