A rich piece, Joanna.

Dreaming does require depth, which is why people are as deep as their dreams - the shallow have none; they don't dream, they wish.

Reality will impose the constraints, which means the dreams should have the intensity and brightness of the sun.

(Joyous summer btw, quite cold in Nairobi as the sun is up North.)

Thank you Patrick! And yes you’re right — people ARE as deep as their dreams. The dreams which call out to us, and are persistent in their echoes, do find their way into reality, but it may arise unconventionally and may feel differently than expected. Either way, self knowledge is gained.

Likewise, happy summer! I’d be interested in reading a piece from you which touches on the seasons.

(I’m just about to head to Mallorca — the sun is calling me).
