winns angels: winter time dreams and looking for focus

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

winter time dreams and looking for focus

sometimes

the winter months are

more about

dreams

and trying

to find focus

for if one chooses

to see only

the realities

the blues and greys

will be stark

too stark

the climate

will be cold

too cold

the ice

will be dangerous

too dangerous

but if one can see

the sparkle

the possibilities

the beauty

the miraculous

one will thrive

one will grow

one will flourish

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."
