I thought this subject dovetailed nicely with
yesterdays post, it's a world wide project called "
Before
I Die", which invites everyone to stand before "
the wall" and think... think about
their lives, think about their hopes, think about their dreams... and then write at least one of them down for the entire
world to see.
Before I Die was the
brainchild of artist
Candy
Chang who created the first one on an abandoned house in her New Orleans neighborhood after losing someone she loved.
As there is a "
wall of hopes and dreams" here in Portland (
Maine) I decided to
head over yesterday and grab a few photographs.
It was really pretty cool to see and hear peoples reaction, so even after I was done "
clicking away" I just sat on the bench and did some people watching.
And speaking of clicking, you can click on any one of these images to view larger.
Didn't we just talk about this yesterday,
living without regrets?
Building a treehouse really would be pretty darn cool!
And so would hugging Taylor Swift!
You know what they say, if you write it down it becomes more real, less of a
dream and more of an attainable goal. With that in mind I encourage you (
please,
please, please) to head over to the
Before I Die website and see
if there is an installation close to you, and if there is, sure grab a
photograph or two but more importantly, write down one thing that you are going to do
before you die.
If you live here in Southern Maine you can head over to
Flatbread Company in Portland to write down your dream (
and have some really good food too).
