America Dreaming
The hopeful person dreams of being liberated from the future. She dreams of experiencing, just once, a world in which the future is not always right over the horizon, beckoning and luring. She dreams of arriving at that resting spot where time does not exist and all striving ceases. In fact, the American Dream is the dream of finding a place where one will feel liberated from the burden of the future, though that place is always in the future. The American Dream devours its own flesh.
