Protector of Dreams
“Ester asked why people are sad.
"That’s simple," says the old man. "They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir
Protector of Dreams - One of my drawings from a couple of years ago
“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”
― Lao Tzu

I wish I could "resteem" this...
The little girl and her owl look kind of intimidating and angry...
Is their look meant to scare anyone that tries to "suffocate" our dreams off?
Yes. Suffocate, eradicate, mutilate our dreams... whatever it is, dreams need protecting. They can be so fragile before they start taking shape and growing.

Perhaps you could read on Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Desintegration. These words being level 1 and 2 (out of 5) of this theory (seemingly).
Just discovered a few days ago, and purchased a book on the subject to see more closely.
Thanks for the book tip! I actually have quite a bit to say on this topic, but didn't have time to elaborate on that particular day.
I love it and their expressions are priceless.
