If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house it would’ve burned down
A long time ago
-- John Prine, "Angel from Montgomery"
The singer/songwriter and folk music icon gives us all a little lesson with the above lyrics. You see, dreams and desire are critical elements in living the life you want; however, dreams and desire aren’t enough. In order to achieve what you want, you have to take specific, reasoned action. Anything less is just empty dreams and unfulfilled desire incapable of lighting life’s flame.
