Eyes on the Stars, Feet on the Ground

Eyes on the Stars, Feet on the Ground
(Confession of a pragmatic dreamer)

Today's entry...was inspired by a few people...
Thanks to Erickson first...who helped me conjure the image of the paradoxical "Pragmatic Dreamer"...then to Arif...the pure melancholic soul, and of course my "Sky"...for the sensible perspective of things.

As children...we had that marvellous gift...A sense of wonder...when everything in the world seemed to be some exciting things waiting to be discovered...We questioned, we wondered...we believed...and we hoped...we wished

How did we lose this along the way?
Why do we sometimes become so cynical?
When did we start closing our hearts and rationalise things with our heads only?

I do not want to ever lose that precious gift...even if I have to dig deep in my soul, or the recesses of my brain, I want to reconnect, and re-discover.
I want to be able to close my eyes, and conjure up the most colourful and delightful of images. I want to see, touch and feel...those dreams.

Dear God,
Today, you opened up a new door for me...and for that, I am grateful.
Never let me lose my sense of wonder.
Allow my rational being work harmoniously with my impulses and my feelings.
Please...let me be able to keep my eyes on the beautiful bright stars up there, but at the same time, keep my feet firmly on the ground.
Thank you...for I am blessed today. Ameen.
