"Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on" - Stevie Wonder
I had this song on my mind this morning. For some reason, I thought it was by the Rascals, but I was wrong. After looking it up I remembered, of course.
Did you know that you never stop dreaming? Well, it's true. But after many years go by, the things that you find wonder in change. It's called maturity or experience, maybe both. For example, I thought I would want a new car when I retired, but you know what? I don't care about the car, and I barely use the one that I have. What I want is to sit and stare at the sky, watch the birds, and take a photo or two.
"I live in that solitude, which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity." - Albert Einstein
