Sometimes it's just so frustrating, when you can see a glimpse of your goals and your dreams, but the way is blocked.

Wonderfully creative image. I love it. I also feel with you in your words, e. Again, it does matter what those goals and dreams are. If they’re noble and wonderful, like Martin Luther King Jr’s dream for the people, then, whatever the odds and obstacles, there will be a way to fulfil them, even if imperfectly on this side of eternity. But there are dreams that are not so noble too; every one of us has them. Even Hitler had his goals, hopes, dreams, aspirations. Sadly when they were fulfilled, even against some odds and obstacles, he was special and famous, but for all the wrong reasons. So, finding a frustrating block is not always such a bad thing, I feel. It may well be the start of something far better, depending on where it leads you. ;) Before this turns into another mini-essay on dreams, may I just wish you all the very best for the noblest dreams and the fulfilment of them in the most beautiful ways. :)
