| Prompt: "The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg and the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs." What is your take on this beautiful reflection? =================== Everything in the world arises and grows from a potential, like the tree in a seed. Yet, for that potential to take shape, we have to recognize it. We have to recognize that it is the potential from which something huge, beautiful, and useful can grow. Dreams can be potentials, too. Yet, for that dream to become reality, an effort is needed. Every effort does not give the imagined result. Yet, we usually do not know what will come out of our dreams when we feed them with our efforts. Maybe it will be something small, maybe something much better than we expected. One may say, “Yes, I have a dream, a vision, but my circumstances do not permit me to reach it”; however, if that person really perceives the vision and its potential and strives to make it a reality, no matter what the circumstances, something good will come out of it. A dream is a vision. A dream, if left without an effort, will stay just the way it is, as a make-believe image or an idle wish, but if we nourish that dream with effort, the result may be something stunning. By the way, such coincidence! This quote is from a very old book, titled As a Man Thinketh, written by James Allen, a British writer-journalist-philosopher, in the beginning of the 20th century. One of my high school teachers used to carry it with her all the time. |
