Quote of the Day – December 15 2011

“The dust of many crumbled cities settles over us like a forgetful doze, but we are older than those cities. We began as a mineral. We emerged into plant life and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again. That’s how a young person turns toward a teacher. That’s how a baby leans toward the breast, without knowing the secret of its desire, yet turning instinctively. Humankind is being led along an evolving course, through this migration of intelligences, and though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.”
–Rumi

Good night to think about dreams.. In my mind, so connected to visions and desires. Can I dream without wanting? I differ from myself of a year or so ago in that I now believe the answer to be more likely yes..I dream the future, I dream things looking different than I see them look. Do I dream art into being? How about myself? How about all that I see with me? Doesn’t it all begin with a dream and then shaped by further dreams..I’ve heard people who believe reality to be what they dream described as fanciful. To me, they tend to be more honest, we all colour the world with our perceptions. Our perceptions determine our speech and actions which influences how others react, a chain of dominos knocked over by a perception, a whim or perhaps a dream.
Namaste, G
