Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real, even though it couldn’t possibly be true?
Here is your chance to dive in to a place where dreams become reality and where logic doesn’t exist. As a young boy I had a wish to meet a great man I looked up on to, a man that inspired me to become a better person and spend my life in the best way I can. Yet I also had a wish to show him my life, where I am, what I do and how are things here. Even though he probably knows it all, it’s fun connecting to the people you admire, even when it’s just fun, games and endless curiosity for life. What I truly want to share with all of you, was my realization that life is less about logic and more about play. Benjamin spoke with an eternal feeling of peace, like he was always here, like I just happened to see him, even though he knows everything there is to know about me. But we don’t look for logic, we are too busy playing and enjoying life. And in the same time, we are in the process of becoming a better version of ourselves. If you remember to breathe, and sometimes hug a tree, every forest will become magical. You just have to dream, dream and dream.
My dream is a symbol that all dreams eventually become true, so be very careful what you wish for, for it might come true! There are many things you can learn from this short story, and I don’t want to give them all away, I just want you to look closely for the hidden doors that are scattered around between lines of text. Hidden doors that lead to the wisdom you seek.
