A Dreamer’s Footsteps (When It’s Crystal Clear)

Dedicated to Crystal Oseguera

Even if it’s cloudy—initially—once the overcast moves along, things become crystal clear about who we truly are—a Dreamer. The plan begins as a dream, and the plan in the end is to dream. It’s everlasting. An infinite task dutifully carried out with each step taken—literally and figuratively. It’s something we build an interest towards that—consistent thoughts play their role—grows into a liking desired to attain, as its a passion that steadily burns as we walk though everyday life.

It’s as if it’s inked permanently within our skin, acting as an unconscious reminder to never forget the journey we’ve traveled, and prepare ourself for the journey we’ll traverse. Our dreamer footsteps—our feet may become tired, but they haven’t grown weary yet—takes us to many places within our minds, and we hope our hearts are aligned with those fancifully realistic thoughts. Eventually, where we step within our present days, those footprints that come with learning, earning, developing, and maturing—the grandeur of growth—within our life, will help us build the courage to take even bigger steps—the small ones count tremendously, so don’t dismiss their impact—towards unknown territory, into unopened doors, and around unfamiliar faces. Despite so many possible unknowns, its the dreamer within us that will undoubtedly keep us going, whether we know the outcome or not, whether we know the area or don’t, whether we know the people of won’t. As a dreamer, we’ll open that door, arrive at that place, withhold that gift (tool), embrace that one person who assures us that being a dreamer isn’t just okay, but its the best thing to be; dreaming is the best thing to do—because they too have dreamed, are dreaming, and will continue to dream, as they themselves are in all transparency—Dreamers.

It only takes a moment to step away from doing what has to be done to survive, and take a break from what we know we won’t do forever, being willing to have a conversation with a kind smile, an open mind, and a dreamer’s heart to feel assured that being a dreamer has been crystal clear for us since we can remember, and seeing it through—the dreamed fulfilled—will remain crystal clear to the end.
