field of dreams...

Someone recently asked my favorite movie,
the title above, my reply.
He followed with a question
about my choice of a sports movie.

I thought about the many levels of this film,
layered one upon another.
Most important is its philosophy
that a dream starts with a single person
who has a vision, hears a voice,
as well as the belief and the fortitude
to make it happen,
to hold fast, never let go,
though others doubt or scoff or dismiss it.
Until it is no longer a dream,
but a reality, tangible,
in and of this world.

Amazing.
