dreams have taken me to
so many beautiful places; I've been below the surface of the ocean
watching the beauty of coral and fish as I swim by. I've flown an
airplane with pontoon floats from a lake in northern Maine and another
different plane on a flight over the Grand Canyon. I've also ridden
under my own wind blown sails. The pictures in my head are priceless
and better than any I've taken. Some of the best times I've had were
listening to older people talk about their dreams and what their dreams
did for their lives. When I hear some of their dreams it inspires me to think
and dream how I might do that too. I interviewed a man some years
ago who was 80-something years young. He was a sturdy man with the
hands to match the story he told me. Hands still strong enough to crack
the shells of the walnuts he offered me and munched on. He had
outlived his wife but still lived in their neat home with bookcases near
tthe fireplace he no doubt built. I asked one question and I didn'
move for hours. His story of leaving home to explore the world and learn
a new trade was fascinating to my young mind. But it was after hearing
his tale that I realized what he was really saying to me - not as an
aspiring journalist but as a person. He told me he dreamed that he
would have a great life and he had one, so, I could dream about
having a great life and get one too. Just as my father had said to me

...
earlier, here was another confirmation. I did just what they said to do,
because I could do anything I wanted. Therefore, I say dream... dream
big dreams about your great life to come. I？ heading out toward my
next one, how about you?
