ridiculous and worth it

my dreams & visions scare people.  my passion and enthusiasm overwhelm those who have yet to journey in the realm of possibility.  my huge heart, courageous words and wild life cause others to gawk, gape and gawp, and point.  bwahahaha!
but this is exactly where i want to be.
if onlookers are not saying, "you're nuts!" then my dreams need some booster shots!
there are people, most of them well-meaning, who would try to stop me, for one, i have been given some words of discouragement by family & friends saying, there is no point of me farming as there is always the typhoons pounding on this area.  the point is, not the farming, but the living in a farm, but they missed the point.  bwahahaha!
i think when i show great courage, the source of which i can only smile about, others would try to stifle it, that is just how the world works.  funny!
what about these big dreamers:  abe lincoln and his ridiculous mission to abolish slavery?  or david and his pebble as he faced the giant?  they are but two of world changers and game players.  they showed up, gave all they had and put on the line in spite of nay-sayers and finger-pointers.  and despite all setbacks, they leaped for their dreams!
sometimes, my dreams scare me:  an art institute, a restaurant, a gallery and an international exhibit. sometimes, i hear in my head a voice saying, "yes B, you are nuts!"  bwahahaha!


but somewhere, i crossed the line of comfort, ease and predictability and chose to live a bigger life.

there is more here, and i will give each day, everything i have, and not look back.   (okay, i have, on several occasions, looked back, and i have listened to some voices in the crowd.  bwahahaha!) 
the lesson?  risk pays, and it costs, but it is always worth it!
now, dare dream?  bwahahaha! 
thank you, ilysm!  i know you know it! bwahahaha!  ♥ ♥ ♥
