Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
I’m walking down a lonely road / Clear to me now but I was never told / Trouble with dreams is you never know / When to hold on and when to let go
If you let me down it’s alright / At least that leaves something for me / ‘Cause you know I’ve got an awful lot of big dreams
The last couple years it’s been a theme of mine that I had lost my dreams. I often drifted toward the dreams of others, especially my children. Maybe in fashion or a baseball star? A poet or filmmaker? After a spell I took to meditation and my “earthly” dreams slowly evolved toward a dream that’s “spiritual” in nature. But hey, not to get too heavy here.
The interesting thing now in quarantine is that when I would start to think my dreams would really disappear, they’ve returned. The first of which has been a bit strange.
As I’ve been checking in with folks it appears many friends have been experiencing “strange dreams.” So I started crate digging and listening to my favorite “dreamy” songs. The more records I played, the more it became clear:
Never give up on your dreams.
Stay safe and connected. XO
