This is a story, told in human terms, that will help make sense of the great puzzle of our times.

A delicate fabric of bird song
Floats in the air,
The smell of wet wild earth
Is everywhere.
Oh I must pass nothing by
Without loving it much,
The raindrop try with my lips,
The grass with my touch;
For how can I be sure
I shall see again
The world on the first of May
Shining after the rain?

There you'll find the place I love most in the world. The place where I grew thin from dreaming. My village, rising from the plain. Shaded with trees and leaves like a piggy bank filled with memories. You'll see why a person would want to live there forever.

Juan Rulfo

your wings not to be dormant
as long as you are alive
you must try more and more
to use your wings to show you're alive
Rumi
