get to know what is on the inside,
and when I think of Dan I get this feeling,
and my heart swells and fills with pride.
Because imagine the world and how it could be, if we, like Dan, would give the shirts off our backs, imagine the wonderful, chaotic, creative genius,
if we all didn’t follow those worn out tracks.
Dan certainly chose the path less travelled, and now I have lost my protector, my elder brother, and there’s a big empty space in my heart, because I know, as Dans go, there will never be another.
And he had such big, wonderful dreams, his attitude to life was let’s be in it, so I know that in my heart, his dreams will continue on, because undoubtedly, Dan had one big, unstoppable spirit.
And I think that is quite a fitting end to this recollection, as the power of poetry, the power of dreams, when harnessed correctly, can be summed up as one, big, unstoppable spirit. They can also bring a tear to the eye:
“Allen, Great job. I have to tell you that you allowed me to cry for my brother for the first time and I thank you for that. You have a remarkable talent. I am going to visit my parents and read it to them. I would like to make changes if necessary later today after visiting my parents. Thanks again and again and again.”
So that brings me to the here and now. I continue to write for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and lifes sadder events. Finally, I think there is a Universal Law for making dreams happen. Six simple steps that will lead you to your heart’s desire:
1. Have a dream. 2. Ensure that the dream is real and achievable (but don’t let this restrict your ambition). 3. Believe in that dream. 4. Want that dream. 5. Commit to that dream
6. Think that dream
“Believe in, want and commit to your achievable dreams and they will happen” But I think I will finish with another poets words, as I think he said this far more eloquently, so long ago. God Bless. Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. Goethe, 18th century poet and philosopher.
