On Daydreams

During my first years in Shanghai I had a beautiful framed print of a Van Gogh quote from the Calm Gallery in London:

“I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”

It was an inspiration to me during that time in my life when I was still finding my way in a new city and figuring out how I fit into it. I lost track of the print itself during a move to another apartment but the thought has stayed with me, reminding me to dream, to embrace new ventures with a sense of wonder. We may not have enough knowledge of astronomy or physics to fully understand the stars but we can see them and be inspired by their infinite presence.

What will you dream about today? How does it inspire you to live more creatively now?
