Dreams I'll never See

Just one more morning, I had to wake up with the blues,
Pulled myself outta bed, yeah, put on my walking shoes.
Went up on the mountain to see what I could see,
the whole world was falling right down in front of me.

Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah baby.
Ahh, help me baby, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah.
- Allman Brothers

The future is unpredictable. We don't know what our lives will like in 10 years time. Think back 10-15 years, and did you think you'd be where you are now?  I certainly didn't think I'd be living where I am, doing what I'm doing, and be Sober.

I've been watching some Ted Talk Video's. In these particular videos Ken Robinson talks about how our education system kills creativity. I think he's right. The education system is setup in industrial cookie cutter fashion to create more professors. We're not all cut out to be professors, are we?  Might it have led to some of the problems as to why many of us felt isolated?  I think so.

One of the nice things about being clean and sober is that we now have the time to pursue some of more creative and worthwhile things in life. We now have the time to be put our creative talents back to work, and to start pursuing forgotten dreams that we might have left behind in a bottle.

We don't have to let our dreams be the end of us.
