“One is not born into the world to do everything but to do something.”
– Henry David Thoreau
I took this picture at a 4th of July parade in a small town in North Dakota. I can’t help but think that this little boy has his sights set on one day proudly operating that enormous farm equipment. But maybe he dreams of designing tall buildings or being a policeman or coaching an NFL team or working in an office in the big city. Only he will know what is his something to do.
