I ventured out to the cottage today and while en route with a one hour drive, when I turned off the main highway, I was then driving on gravel. It always reminds me of when I was a kid, and the family would all pack up from the east coast and come back to where my "roots" were from. It's interesting how things from my childhood come back to me with something so small as the feel of driving on a gravel road. What still to this day amazes me is when thirty minutes out of the city - how things change so quickly. Urban life into a vast land of the countryside. While driving during the summer you have a view of five miles ahead of you, a mirage takes place. Today that took place and if you have not seen it, it's an optical illusion that takes place. And on the main highway I could see for easily two miles.
Then the turn onto the gravel road and on each side the crops were well near harvesting, but what was so interesting was just being out there. I have not been to the cottage for a year and that's another story, but it's a place I love to go and hang out and jet ski. But I was just heading out to take some pictures. I wanted to tap into something.
While driving the idea of the past, the future and dreams come together. This is what I intended to do today. Aside waking up early and thinking it was Sunday. It was Saturday and a great one. I thought about so many areas of what can be. While pulling over going to the cottage and returning from it this concept of dreams stayed with me. Several different thoughts seemingly came into play during this venture - realistic dreams, nature, they cycle of crops.
I don't think that I came to any conclusion, yet just doing it - gave way to something obtained in some manner. And I am glad that I did.
Who can't dream? Is there an age limitation to dreams and goal. I really don't think so. For a world without dreams is a stagnate routine. And I truly believe that dreams are different to each and everyone of us, but we all do dream, and not just while sleeping.
Dreams are what life is about. But within the dreaming of what I desire - its partially the process of creating and making the dream/goal happen, while primarily doing something that you enjoy. Sometimes our subconscious brings about secondary thoughts that intertwine and foster some sort of creativity as well and reflections - that can be productive.
I know nothing about farming, but if a farmer can withstand good years and bad years and continue to farm. Perhaps a farmer lives and works based on dreams/goals as well. As each and every year it's all based on nature. If it rains at the right time - there will be a good crop and if it's completely dry, he has to plan for the long run so that he can keep his land. If he didn’t plan out for the long term - he would be bankrupt. Somewhere within this venture I found that dreams are substantial. However, when one wishes to make a dream worth going for it takes action not just the comfortable thoughts - but both are what we do each and every day.
As we have more than 60,000 thoughts that take place each and every day. I ponder on what percentage is placed within the "art" of embarking on dreams.
