A brilliant idea,
like a falling star,
burns out when left in a free fall.
It is nothing more
than a streak in the sky
before it becomes fragmented.

Over the years, I have frequently heard the saying, "Trust your gut". The saying has been explained to me as the need to act on your intuition before the thought floats to your mind where ego talks you out of it!
One way discoveries and inventions arrive is in the form of dreams. If the dreamer stays focused and follows through, creating and developing the idea, the rewards can be unbelievable. Songs, golf swings, mathematical formulas, machines and appliances have all been triggered by a creative thought whether awake or dreaming. The key is in the follow through, to turn down ego's volume, and to believe in possibilities.
If we disregard a burst of brilliance, it will dissipate. If we do not capture the moment with the innocence and imagination of a child, unique insight will vanish. If we limit our own creative growth by thinking we can't, then we won't. If we dare to catch the falling star, we will become more than just a streak in the sky!
