To Dream, Perchance to Wake
December 15th, 2008 at 8:41 pm (Thoughtful)
It happens sometimes that you can dream and wish for something so hard that you end up failing to notice when you’ve achieved it. You may also find that the obstacle to you getting there wasn’t the all the things that you imagined, but your own inability to go with the flow you’ve started. This poem is about waking up to those realisations in glorious hindsight, and realising that the worst culprit for making change difficult might have been something in yourself.

Dear Christine
I particularly enjoyed this poem and had to comment as the changes for the better we have seen in recent years are largely thanks to you, your efforts and those with whom you have worked to “make it happen”. Thank you for this selection, for access to them and the podcasts of various events. They are immensely informative and enjoyable.
Merry Christmas and lets us hope for a good 2009! (despite the predictions)
Regards
Helen
