Dreams

While listening to reflections on Martin Luther King Day, I heard Dr. Robin Smith's advice to 'Dream like a fool.' http://www.drrobinsmith.com/index.htm

I wonder, is there any other kind of dream? After all, if dreams were easily realized and sensible they would just be called 'plans'. The purpose of dreams is to stretch reality; to dare to imagine what currently does not exist for us.

Dreams are for the young at heart, I've also heard, yet all of history points to the greatest among us who refused - or forgot- to stop dreaming. Dreaming then, is courageous when logic rallies against it. Dreaming is a mark of True Inner Strength for sure. It is not foolish after all. A fool wouldn't know what to do with a dream!
