to live the life you dream

"Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine."
"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

[Today's photo really called for two quotes. But mostly I just love Emerson and couldn't choose between the two. Both of which are very much what I need to remember right now. The title of this image is straightforward, but it's an incredibly heavy topic when it comes down to it--one that I feel most everyone thinks about very, very often and yet few seem to manage. My mom hung the word "Dream" above my bed as a teen. When I graduated, she got me a necklace with the same word engraved in it. And I'm taking her advice. Not only will I dream, I will live it. The world *would* be a better place if we all went after our dreams.
PS: I think it's worth mentioning that I faced one of my biggest fears for this photo--lying on the ground completely *surrounded* by bees, which I am indeed allergic to. Dedication or stupidity? Either way, I'm proud, and it was worth it to me.]
