each chasing our illusive dreams?

I recall the lyrics of this song that I remember well from my secondary school days. They bring back good memories, gentle reminders and fresh inspiration for today.

An Illusive Dream (Words and Music by Jimmy Owens)

Where might you be going this fine day my friend?
Off along an aimless road that soon must end,
Chasing an illusive dream that shines so fair
But when found isn't there.

I can understand your weary sigh, my friend.
There but for the grace of God go I, my friend.
Come and let him lead you to your journey's end,
Oh come along and walk with him.

Where might you be going this fine day my friend?
Off along an aimless road that soon must end,
Chasing an illusive dream that shines so fair
But when found isn't there.

If without the grace of God your life should end,
And before the face of God you'd stand, my friend.
What would your illusive dream avail you then?
So come along and walk with him.

In our roles as students, professionals, parents and family members, we often find ourselves in a maddening race. In minute moments of quiet or sudden disruption, we may sense that we're "grasping at the air" or "running on empty". My friend, if you find these feelings much like your own, do take a moment now and seek for a new paradigm & renewed center for your life.
