I am a dreamer.

                               Though my roots are firmly planted in the soil,
                               my branches and leaves reach out into eternity.

                               The slow steady pace of time cannot keep me from speeding forward.
                               Reality is only one small dimension.

                               I have traveled the world, crossed the oceans and the deserts;
                               from the sweltering jungles to the ice-capped mountains.

                               I am the sun.

                               My thoughts, not unlike rays, travel throughout the universe;
                               permeating any and everything they contact.

                               I do not tire.

                               My journey is without end.

                               I am a dreamer.
