Don't listen to them. Your dreams can come true. Not just some of them; every single one of them. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. Just adjust your definition of a dream. You already have the perfect lover. Don't let pop culture tell you otherwise. Just adjust your definition of perfection. Give her just the right flaws in all the right places, all the right features and all the wrong faces. Beware that you are both a witch and a magician, and that you may have to reinvent "perfection." But no one else need know, just you. And give to her all the moods and colors you imagine. Give to her freckles, unsightly blemishes and crooked teeth. Give her lips that have not yet lost their passion, despite all the hammer-blows of life. (Remember that if you don't like them you can always change them on a whim.) And give to her the indignation and the anger of a million claps of thunder. Give her a character, a form, that can endure, even prevail against the storms of life. Give her the carriage, the gate, the bearing, the body of your own desire. Give her a voice that can cut through decades of pain and cynicism, a song that can break, tenderize and even melt the stiffest heart. Give her magic intuition, laser vision that can look deep inside another soul. Imagine that, wherever you go, she comes with you; and wherever you are, she is there. lives within you and beside you for as long as you live. Again, never forget that if you don't like any of them, you can always tell them it was just a dream. And you can live in a perfect world. Not some pathologically escapist box, but the vast world of your imagination. In your mind you color, populate, create the objects and the personalities of your dreams. The world of your imaginings is, in reality, the only world there is. And the visions of your inner world, will manifest themselves in outer life. It is thus that you and I are constant co-creators of the universe we live in. Remember that, of course, if we don't like something ... ... ... ... ... SC |
