How could we forget all the ancient myths

that stand at the beginning of all races?

The myths about dragons that at the last

moments are transformed into princesses.

Perhaps, all the dragon in our lives are princesses

who are only waiting to see us act, just once with

beauty and courage.

Perhaps, everything that frightens us is in its deepest essence,

something helpless that wants our love.

So, you must not be frightened.

If a sadness arises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen.

If an anxiety like light or cloud shadow moves over everything you do

You must realize that something is happening to you

That life has not forgotten you

That it holds you in its hands…

and it never let you fall.
