Snozberry?

When I was a little girl my mother introduced me to "Willy Wonk and the Chocolate Factory" and my favorite scene was when they were all licking the flavored wallpaper and Willy Wonka says " The snozberries taste like snozberries!". Then Veruca Salt replies "Snozberries? Who ever heard of a snozberry?". Willy Wonka grabs her mouth and replies " We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

I was always drawn to this statement even as a child. To me it has always meant that we create our own destiny. We choose how to view the world and what to make of it. Well it turns out the quote is part of a very famous poem that embodies just that.

We are the music makers,

And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

And sitting by desolate streams;—

World-losers and world-forsakers,

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world for ever, it seems.

We can all sit in the comfort of our lives as the days merge or we can break against the sea, climb the steep mountains, shake our souls awake and dare to dream.
