An author's dream

Thoughts among the dreaming

By Barry StuartPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Life is like a dream unnerved but stayed; a blossom met but forgotten; an idea relinquished however understood.

Life is neither set yet nor random; it exists as inspired content but not as the result of one simple calculation. We breathe where we breathe for there we have walked and though we have not always walked: sometimes we are placed.

Life is suffering, tragedy, heartache, unending pain and misery. It is joy, love, terrific excitement and debate, soul and purpose. Perhaps life is but a flower: the summer of our years

Do authors create worlds or do worlds create authors?

Where does a dream fly once dismissed? Am I to tremble before this question? Where do we go when we sleep?

And whom wakes the dreamer whom does not dream?
