Day dreaming thoughts

If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. We live and breathe words It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.

Publishing a book is like stuffing a note into a bottle and hurling it into the sea. Some bottles drown, some come safely to land, where the notes are read and then possibly cherished, or else misinterpreted, or else understood all too well by those who hate the message. You never know who your readers might be. I had no particular expectation that the book would ever be published, because it was sort of a mess. It was only when I found myself writing things I didn't realise.The book had become an incentive to deeper thinking. That's really what writing is―an intense form of thought.
