Daydreams

While it isn’t the time yet for lazy summer days spent daydreaming, the new year always brings out the dreamer in us all. If we don’t make resolutions, we make secret hopes and wishes that this year will be different, will be better, will be beautiful as well as new. So this week’s quote seems rather appropriate.

Everything starts as somebody's daydream by Larry Niven

I love the reminder that everything starts out as someone’s daydream. Whether it is a flower arrangement, a poet, a book, a painting, a computer program, a recipe, or an app, that something new starts as someone’s dream. It is important for us to remember as we go forth into the world creating and sharing and caring. The quote is a reminder that we can’t take anything too seriously because it comes from daydreams, yet at the same time dreams are serious stuff that have the potential to change the world. This duality of daydreaming is what makes it so wonderful and powerful.

I hope you have time to step away from your daily chores and work to daydream. And, I hope, you share the creations of your daydreams with the world. 🙂
