"I guess everything comes back again, once we have thoroughly exhausted all the alternatives." Dallas, wrote to me. (Dallas is Dallas Dellinger Hlatky)
By sifting through my relentless new questions in this day, perhaps I will be lucky enough to see all the sparkly dreams of my youth "come back." Welcome the return of those uninformed dreams that don't understand profit and loss statements and product trend curves and fourth quarter projections. Those dreams that get shuffled under admonitions like "be realistic," and "you have to be practical," and "There's so much to do with the holidays here." All those dreams that, once remembered, make everything sharper, smellier and more enthusiastic.
Yes, Dallas, everything comes back again. In this holiday season I want to invite the gifts of my most profound and meaningful dreams into my daily experience. "I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind." Emily Bronte
