those words run through my head a lot lately. i've never felt more active with ideas and schemes that i've dreamed up up or helped to dream up. in my past, i've crafted the dreams, then let them sit gathering dust on a shelf, fearful of really using them lest i break or damage them. how easy it was, i now think, to excuse myself by saying that i didn't have the time to turn those dreams into a reality.
