“Whatever you can do or dream you
can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
It was not Nietzsche
(whom I readily quote in High Up in the
Rolling Hills) who wrote this, but Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
I like to think that
it is a tenet that has subconsciously driven me throughout my life and made me
make the decisions and detours that I have. In looking beyond short-term
brutish goals, horizons and vistas open up that draw us out into beautiful
realms of exploration and discovery. Following dreams leads us to places we
cannot uncover by pursuing goals alone.
