Of dreams. And hopes. And thoughts of what ‘could be’. Dreams free us from normality. ...As the daydreams grew longer, the distinction between what was real and what was imaginary grew less. Soon I existed in a blissful world of my own creation. Reality, as I learned, is only a matter of perception...A life that is real to one is surreal to another.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReader Testimonials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A year in the wild.
