Blink.

Dreams reach to us in clouds of ember, in waves from purple ocean, in a golden aloof moon, or in a perpetual loop of ecstasy.

In every heart we find a shadow of fear that exhorts us to disown ourselves of our freedom. We realize that the shadow is not entirely us, but that of a separate entity. We can attempt to extinguish this entity in order for us to go on and dream our dreams or to free ourselves from fear and longing.

But not all dreams are fluffy. We also dream of dragons and swords and battles. It can be daunting, but these dreams do teach us that we can find the courage to fight the battles. That alone makes the battle half won.
