Life is a dream. ‘Tis waking that kills us — Virginia Woolf.

In the movie Pretty Woman there is a character who walks the streets of Hollywood asking, “What’s your dream?”  I believe in dreams and not just those idealistic dreams I had as a young man. It is just as important to have dreams in our senior years. They may be dreams about writing a novel, learning to paint or play the piano, or travel the world.

It is when we stop having dreams that we stop living, and wake to the death of reality.
