There’s this notion that you can turn dreams into reality if you just put the talent you were born with to work. Take the plunge. Never give up on chasing your dreams, they say.
Hah! That in itself is a dream.
It takes opportunity. How else is talent going to grow? Someone has to be willing to extend a helping hand, act on a raw hunch. It shouldn’t be such a rare occurrence that talent is wedded with opportunity.
Or is it the case that you have to look in the right places?
If so, how do you find them?
I’ll keep looking but it’s getting cold. Winter is approaching and I don’t know if this raggedy old coat will be enough insulation until help arrives. Brrr!
