Keep the common dreams of a dreamer!
In moments of stress, or moments of strife, through periods of chaos, or periods of change, when life becomes unpredictable, days and nights too, unpredictable, when the voices and the places that once nurtured you, turn on you, whether storms erupt or your strong purpose erodes, no matter whether your candle burns it self out…
