Our dreams are interconnected.

This is a lovely cartoon by one of my favorite cartoonists, Grant Snider. See more at his website, Incidental Comics.

Our dreams are interconnected.

We live in a small place

alone, apart

but interconnected.

Chasing ambitions,

confronting fears,

making minor revisions.

Seeking escape,

creating pointless conflict,

staying open to beauty.

Other people remain a mystery;

their lives are stranger than we can imagine,

their dreams as vibrant as our own.

We can't shut out the world;
we live in a small place;
our dreams are interconnected.
