Dreams by Langston Hughes

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Nice.

If it's one thing that's kept me alive during some pretty dark times it's that, somehow, my dreams have had a truly phenomenal stubborn desire not to die.

They've been in the critical care ward a few times, but the stubborn f***ers are still here :-)

Thank you,
Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
Ray.

Nice to know they're so stubborn!
