This is true, and this is how I try to live. I hate it when the chemical demons eat up all my zen. It's really scary to not be able to get back to this place of hope and acceptance. I really have a philosophy that if you DO and you DREAM, and you do them in balance, eventually, the two will meet in reality. It's happened for me in a lot of ways already. I despise not being able to see it when the dark gets me.
