Big Dream, Little Dream

I’m enjoying revisiting old songs whilst using their titles as the starting point for these daily blogs. Some of them I can hardly remember but, albeit that we might record some of them differently now, I’m happy with the songs themselves.

Always flawed, and never perfect, as though they’d been written by a human being, they are a reflection of my life, and the particular time in my life when they were written. A personal musical diary.

Today’s song, Big Dream, Little Dream stirred some emotion in me. It’s a song of idealistic “big dreams” hitting the wall of reality and coming unstuck. A coming of age tale really. A realisation of human limitation.

But the big dream need not die. It’s not a bad thing, or necessarily an unrealistic goal. It’s simply outside of any personal control.

Little dreams are the manageable, day to day aspirations, that can and will be inspired by the big dream. They too are dreams. Waking dreams in which we are actively involved.

The planting of the apples seeds that grow into apple trees.

It turns out that it is not at all easy to grow an apple tree from a seed. And no guarantees that a tasty apple will be the end result.

But it is possible.

And “Possible” is the destination our little dreams are floating towards.
