The uninvention of the dream began with a song. The lyric was heard echoing in the most unexpected places. Here, there, somewhere.
And then another
and then another.
The uninvention of the dream neither happened where they wanted it to happen, nor where they thought it might happen. The uninvention of the dream, thus, was expected – and unexpected.
The uninvention of the dream was a story that they told again and again. In bars, on the street, in their houses, to theirselves, their family, their friends, their enemies.
The uninvention of the dream was a whisper.
The uninvention of the dream was passed from generation to generation – like a broken telephone, it was received in all the wrong ways.
But the uninvention of the dream refused to die.
The uninvention of the dream lasted, and will continue to last, as long as there are dreams to be uninvented.
The uninvention of the dream was a dream uninvented – and so the uninvention of the dream lay unseen.
Still the uninvention of the dream has been sighted by the lost ones, the confused ones, the wanderers, those who hope, those who pray, those who (mis)understand, the lovers, the dreamers, the dreamers.
The uninvention of the dream has always been in the hands of the dreamers.
The uninvention of the dream has always been in the hands of dreamers.
And dreamers have been heard singing from the most unexpected places. Here, there, somewhere.
And then another.
And then another.
The uninvention of the dream began with a dream.
