i am stronger than a sepik crocodile, more cunning than gideon's three hundred, more powerful than david's five stones, brighter than the thunderbolts of zeus. i can change lives, resolve injustice, reverse poverty, inspire hearts and minds, connect kindred souls. i can make laughter and inspire singing, persuade lovers to find each other, strangers to make friends, and enemies to make peace. i can move mountains.

how does one move from a dream world to the real world? i've been living in my mind so long, i can hardly remember what it is to be present. someone, help me awaken! i want to see, touch, hear, smell, taste life again. i want to be grateful for how blessed i am here and now instead of always dreaming about the future. but i don't know how anymore. how can i have forgotten what it is to be alive?
