Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
I’ve cloaked myself with fragility – a stupid act one could claim when living in such a terrifying world – I’ve followed the path of writers who all have peered, wondered, doubted or even feared dreams they knew to be the truth, but simply didn’t dare to dream.
Edgar Allan Poe – one of the greatest writer of all time, in my humble opinion – wrote the amazing poem: The Raven, which reminded me the importance of dreaming; freeing oneself from the chains of reality. Daily, I walk in the heart of Denmark; daily I spot fear in countless of eyes; daily I hear the chains of reality rattle against the cold concrete; daily I feel the fear in the souls of the people, and not once have I been able to fight the sadness that whisper mockingly in my ear.
Being a writer I embrace my dreams; for me there’s no difference between dreams and nightmares – I get inspired by them, but people in our modern era tend to forget an important quality with dreams, or visions if you like: They are not understood properly the first time one sees or feels them. I guess what I’m trying to say is: If only people embraced dreams; If only people dared to dream; If only people fought the chains of reality, we all could achieve the ultimate state of being – we all could become immortal. Once we’ve freed ourselves from the shackles of reality – We have freed ourselves from physical shackles; Dear friend, if you truly believe in passion, if you truly believe that there’s more than the eyes can see, if you truly believe in love; you will find the courage and free yourself from the shackles and become immortal. – Dream the dream no mortal has ever dared to dream before.
Yours Truly.
