Simon and the donkeys gave us a joyous shout-out this morning, and in it, I heard some joyous braying for the New Year, and to me, this is the call to live, the call to dream. I think dreams can come true, if you stick with them. We are discouraged from doing this. Dreams are fantasies, too expensive, not practical, not realistic in our tough and angry world. But dreams are the vitamins of the soul, the inspire us, pull us forward, give us strength.

When Simon brays, I often hear the call to dream, and to never stop dreaming. In the New Year I will dream every single day.
