My Say, My Dream
"Tread softly because you tread on my dreams", William Butler Yeats
Self-preservation is perhaps the first instinct known to all species.
Sometimes, the rescue will break forth from various sources, but it
is virtual anathema to think that we were made to be fully dependant on any but the creator. We can even be expectant of an occasional soft touch, but we quickly discover that we were born with basic selfish instincts and equipped to do very little for ourselves. Hence, the deep need for others and thus, the vital importance of 'MY SAY' in the manner of my reception of service.
Dreaming is a lot about development and formation, which often occur in the early stages of the dream at a level of unhardened barriers, weak walls, and shaky foundations. That is why dreams have to be nourished and protected at all costs like newborn babes.
Our plan and purpose are unique, and no one more than I can see the dangers to my talent, my skill, my calling, to my most sought after dreams.
MY DREAMS are tender and slightly rooted. So can you be more sensitive and caring when critiquing my feeble efforts? These are MY DREAMS. So would you tread softly as a skilled physician would with slow and sure hands of healing? Feel free to offer direction to my novelistic feet, but please do not wreck MY DREAMS before they have an opportunity to launch to flights yet unknown? Observe MY DREAMS, offer them fuel for extra milage, and give them water to quench their thirst. For this, I would be extremely grateful, but anything less would be gravely unacceptable.
