Postcards From Hollister # 6

The immensity and torrent of the world, in a tiny inch of water.

-Paul Cézanne

Sometimes it pays to look down at your feet instead of always looking toward the high mountains. We can look far and wide for what we were looking for, until we realize that it was back where we started from. We dream, and dream big, but then we often mistake what we think might fulfill those dreams with what will really fulfill them. Sometimes happinesss was there all along for the taking. We just weren't paying attention.

It's not about not dreaming. It's about learning to dream well. And sometimes dreaming well means dreaming small. Very, very small.
