The New Dream

Location

Such a simple phrase;

I HAVE A DREAM

Four words coming together famously spoken about equality.

These are not original words.

These words are old as the English language allows, and the idea behind them? 

Older.

Every single human soul longs for something. 

We need; We want; We aspire; We grasp at the future and pull it into our selves. 

For some this dream slips through the fingertips like grains of sand, 

But for others?

Others, some by force of sheer will alone, wrangle their dreams, piece it together with the pieces they sacrifice from their own skin and draw it into the tangible world. 

They create their own path. 

They, make the dream something real. 

Tangibility is something of a misnomer. 

Creating that something from nothing destroys the concept of nothingness and destroys the barriers we put around the world that is real.

Attaining dreams not only changes the world. It makes it grow. 

Like a Mustard tree from the smallest seed, these dreams can grow into reality.
