Do the poor dream brighter sheep?

Filed under: — site admin @ 12:59 EST
Why is so much entrepreneurial spirit found among our immigrants and our poor? Do they dream more vividly, brighter and bigger than we do? Perhaps it is just we who dream dreams less bright, dimmed by the glare of so many TVs, movies, and neon signs, from the clutter of so . . . much . . . stuff, sleeping too deeply among our existing history of achievements, our licenses to be lazy. This is not just an idle question for us at BRINQ, it is at the heart of what we do, discovering and painting vivid dreams. We are searching for the verge of innovation, where the brightest sheep of all colors, white, brown, blue, magenta . . . singed sugarcane yellow, are leaping by. And we’re looking for that entrepreneurial spirit, that drive, which makes sheep not only leap but fly. So where can we deep sleepers find those bright spirits, those vivid dreams? Among the sleeping lightly. Among the poor, at the brink of the world. ?? 2004 by BRINQ. All Rights Reserved
