Most Opulent Dream

Experience your most opulent dream. Taste solitude as one sampling rare and ancient wine from fluted crystal goblets. Be exhilarated in reaching toward the heavens in 'primal scream' ecstasy after climbing a hazardous rock massif, and there inhaling rarified air no other human being ever breathed. Possess courage to explore deep caverns and nether-world sanctums, while holding fast to the vision and reason that keeps one safe in plight. Cast yourself upon the boundless ocean depths, and fearing not a rogue wave, be ferried safely through moonless, liquid nights on waves of blue-green foam. And believing you possess none of these traits or aptitudes, dream passionately while living humbly. Know self-esteem while holding fast to modesty. Walk the earth knowing nature and man as companions and helpmates. Leave footprints in the soil that are a clear path toward truth and safety. For bravery occupies every heart, and fear is cast aside with each step that courage and fortitude take. Live each day then, to the full. Go forth, and experience your most opulent dream. 6-2-15 Experience Your Most Opulent Dream
