Cloths of Heaven
W. B. Yeats
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the Earth
And every man is free.
It’s a poor bet to delay going after our dream. No one knows how long their life will be. When we decide to wait, we’re betting that whenever we set out to chase the dream, everything will be set and the timing will be perfect. One thing we can count on, there will never be a perfect time to chase the dream. There will always be mountains in our way. The sooner we set out to climb our mountains, the sooner we’ll realize our mountains are not so tall, and we’re well on our way to our dream. Don’t deny yourself the chance to go for your dream by delaying your decision. Now is the time. Where you are at is the place. It’s the perfect time to start.
Do you have a dream? Is it time to stop dreaming and start walking toward that dream? Take the first step toward the dream. No matter how small the step, it is the beginning of the journey. Each step forward unlocks a new door and the path you’re to take will unfold before you. It’s all waiting for you to take the first step.
What if your greatest dream came true would you stop dreaming? We’re designed to dream. We’re designed with a hope gene. We’re designed to look for rainbows, mountain tops, and clearing skies. Here’s hoping your dreams come true and they continue to come true. Dream on dreamer.
If you’re not failing every once in a while, you’re not risking. If you’re not risking, the dream remains elusive. Today, dare to fail, dare to try, dare to tray again and again. You’ll discover your dream is within your grasp.
Ready to chase your dream? You’ll walk through deserts, have to cross raging rivers, and scale mountains. Whatever you do, don’t stop. If you keep moving, you’ll find a way over. around, or through.
We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.”. ~ Harriet Tubman
