Would you say that I'm a dream chaser? That whole concept is tricky. I think the first place to start is to figure out if the dreams are even yours to chase. But how do you know? I mean, I don't want to waste my time chasing Beau's dreams or Ellie's dreams or even Rob Bell's dreams. I want to chase my own. My own.
I want to do something for me. Is that selfish?
Probably not. At least not if my dreams are meant to benefit others in some way. But what if my dreams are selfish? Somehow self-serving? What then? And what if other people think my dreams are silly? Are they still worth dreaming? Or, for that matter, chasing?
It sure is easier to just live life, without the dreaming. The dreaming makes it confusing. But, as the pioneer woman said about her quilt making, "I make them warm to keep my family from freezing. And I make them beautiful to keep my heart from breaking." Yes. I dream to keep my heart from breaking.
