Sometimes,
it isn’t only the fulfillment of a dream that counts.
Many times,
the DREAM
and the DREAMING itself
is already a GIFT.
Do you remember a dream of yours that came true?
Do you remember the first moment
that you dreamt it,
or the many moments you labored
in its pursuit?
Do you remember the PEOPLE you dreamt it with?
Do you remember their surprise
when they first heard of your dream?
or their encouraging words
when they saw you losing hope?
How much were those moments worth?
How much the worth of those
who walked with you,
who believed with you,
who blessed you with their company
as your eyes remained focused only
on distant stars?
Sometimes,
when I look back,
I couldn’t help but think –
that during those moments,
I’ve already had everything I’ve ever wanted to have.
Which is the real dream?
and how much is it really worth?
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
