The aim of the dreamer, after all,
is merely to go on dreaming
and not to be molested by the world.
His dreams are his protection against the world.
But the aims of life
are antithetical to those of the dreamer,
and the teeth of the world are sharp.

Life moves like a fleeting melody, each moment a step in a dance that will not last forever. We never know when the music will quiet, but we do know that every movement—every choice, every act of love—matters. So dance with intention. Savor small joys, give freely, & let kindness shape your rhythm.

No lullabies for them
Every mother’s nightmare
