“Instead they dream of furniture
Of buying a new hat
Of owning matching silverware
Could you imagine that?

Yes there are places in the world
Where dreams are almost dead
So please my child do keep in mind
Before you go to bed

To dream a dream as big
As big could ever dream to be
Then dream a dream ten times as big
As that one dream you see

Please dream for those who’ve given up
For those who’ve never tried
Please use your dream to make new dreams
For all the dreams that died

So when you think your dreaming’s done
Just remember what I said
‘Close your eyes my child and dream
That perfect dream inside your head.”
― Dallas Clayton, An Awesome Book!

“The day will be what you make it, so rise like the sun, and burn.”
― William C. Hannan

“Sometimes,
all you can do
is lie in bed,
and hope
to fall asleep
before
you fall apart.”
― William C. Hannan

“Fire burns blue and hot.
Its fair light blinds me not.
Smell of smoke is satisfying, tastes nourishing to my tongue.
I think fire ageless, never old, and yet no longer young.
Morning coals are cool: daylight leaves me blind.
I love the fire most because of what it leaves behind.”
― Penny Reid, Beauty and the Mustache

“Don’t set yourself on fire trying to keep others warm.”
― Penny Reid, Beard in Mind
