Stoking the fire

Remember that conversation we had in the computer lab at SUU? It may only have been Benjamin and I. It was about keeping the fire and passion for our arts. I had read "The Gospel Vision of the Arts" by President David O. Mckay and felt so inspired. I felt like I was on fire. I talked to Benjamin about keeping the fire going.
I've thought about that lately. I feel, today, like I am remembering dreams I've long forgotten. I'm coming back to the warmth of a fire I used to feel often. I read that talk again and gained new insight that touched me deeply.
I want to continue to dream things that never were and say "Why not?"

Why not go to the moon?
