The Past Looms Large

Behind looms a mountain Ahead, a narrow stream The mountain is receding The stream is your dream The past is in the mirror The future lies ahead When the mountain disappears Your dream will be dead

Dreams are what keeps us alive when we give them up we become like the mountain! Enjoyed this ponderous read :)

Gershon..I am so thick headed. I got lost after the last two lines Deadhead, Panagiota

Don't think you missed much, my friend. ~ Jerry Garcia (You did identify yourself as a 'deadhead,' after all).

This takes the mind all over the place. Perhaps the land of confusion.
