A well-known actor and bestselling author of Greelights offers an inspirational collection. - Random House, Inc.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠From the Academy Awardâwinning actor and author of Greenlights comes an inspiring, faith-filled, and often hilarious collection of personal poetry and prayers about navigating the rodeo of life and chasing down the original dream, belief.
My prayers are my poems are my prayers.
Iâve always relied on logic to make sense of myself and the world.
A prescriptionist at heart, Iâve always looked to reason to find the rhyme, the practical to get to the mystical, the choreography to find the dance, the proof to get to the truth, and reality to get to the dream.
Iâve been finding that tougher to do lately. Itâs more than hard to know what to believe in; itâs hard to believe.
But I donât want to quit believing, and I donât want to stop believing in . . . humanity, you, myself, our potential.
I think itâs time for us to flip the script on whatâs historically been our means of making sense, and instead open our aperture to enchantment and look to faith, belief, and dreams for our reality.
Letâs sing more than we might make sense, believe in more than the world can conclude, get more impressed with the wow instead of the how, let inspiration interrupt our appointments, dream our way to reality, serve some soul food to our hungry heads, put proof on the shelf for a season, and rhyme our way to reason.
Forget logic, certainty, owning, or making a start-up company of it; letâs go beyond what we can merely imagine, and believe, in the poetry of life.
