Dreams

Dreams begin as vague ideas that emerge in the breath of the air floating ethereally until they catch the wind and form fingers reaching across space to caress your cheek like a lover. Then, they tug at your heart and catch in your throat. Dreams crystallize as tears streaming from eyes too long focused on sights present to see shapes of future possibilities. They forge paths and give energy to once tired footsteps. Slowly, they gain presence and stand beside you, lie with you and become your heartbeat.

And when dreams come true, it can happen in an instant. One simple moment as time stands still and then soars on newly formed wings lifting everyone along in a blur of excitement and joy. It becomes a tangible gift and the struggle to arrive in this place is quickly forgotten but those who travelled with us are not.

And only then do the other dreams placed in our hearts from the beginning become most evident. Dreams that are found in the joy of sharing with friends and family and experienced in the celebration of collective happiness. Dreams echoed in laughter and felt in warm embraces. Love, life and health – these are the real dreams we’ve had all along. How lucky we are to open their gifts and fly.
