Hey, Guags. Do they have you on the good stuff? I was thinking about you again because.. well, just because.. and because I was thinking on one of those things that you can't say to many people besides you. About reality and dreams.

Why is it that people put those things in separate categories? They can be, but they intertwine. To dream is to create, the creation becoming reality. Some people seem to think as soon as the dream is reality, that it dims, becomes tainted, or something. When the lily begins to bud, it's a dream. You imagine it's beauty when it opens. Soft orange, trimmed with blue. And then one day you walk by the flowerbed and it's just begun to open, the outer edges curling out and you see the hint of what is to come. Then you walk by the next day and there it is in all its glory and you stop and sit, and don't light a cigarette (if you're in a good mood) and enjoy it.

Fantasy is cool in its place. It amuses, diverts, and relaxes. But its like break-time. To dream is to strive to bring something forth. To bring a beauty and joy into the world. Yeh, yeh. Feed the hungry children and stop the hate. (Miss America takes her bow)

So how ya doing, bud?
