I've complained of this before, but it makes me wonder...what kills dreams? Familiarity and the day to day grind that turns workers in to grey salariman that so many creative youth fear? The fear itself of work, the uncertainty of the future? The saition (sp!) of early desires? The electronic chained daydream that is computer on line gaming?
Most of my dreams I've made real, in some way...and I know that many I could if I desired them. It' s not time nor talent I lack (indeed, one can develop the other) but passion. Where did it go? Did I lose it at work, broken in the day to day beating of the spirit over money (ok, then I must apply Biz Zen and throw the elephant). Is it in the online games, which constrain you to a developed vision? Is it in my choice of activites, of friends, of habits?
Or is it Age, daughter to cruel time, sneaking up on me?

no subject
Lurking still in weary breast
For fuel that can re-ignite
Them, set the energies alight
Sending forth again the fire
Striving for that heart’s desire?
All the battles lost and won
By might of arms, or words alone
Serve to dull the sharpest blade.
World-numbed, your passions fade
And yet, I think, they still await
‘Til you can re-evaluate
What still works in your old dreams
And what’s no longer what it seems
What new causes to embrace,
Which new pathways you might trace.
