Removing the curtains

At that moment I realized that I had almost given up on my dream.
Like being under water, holding your breath. The sunbeams dancing
on top of your head. Everything seems blurry. Yet so clear.
I could hear their voices from above the water.
For about five seconds everything seemed to stand still.
Not even the water was moving.
Surrounded by the seaweed guarding the underwater entrance to the world beyond worlds.

I closed my eyes and reinforced my determination.

Head above water. Clear blue sky. Catch my breath.

The dream was still there. It had never disappeared.
It was only well hidden in my fears. Like the seaweed guarding the entrance to the world beyond worlds, - I had used my fear, to guard my dream - like a big steel door, like a huge brick wall, like a thick wool cover. Behind the curtains is the dream. In my heart the courage is growing stronger, knowing that I have to take a step forward and remove those curtains.

The fright is present - but not my enemy.

The heart is with me - always. It is my best friend.

And I would never let my best friend down.

Never.


I just needed a break form it all. And then I needed to get my head above water.

That's it.


Just a small break.

Catch my breath.

Before I kept swimming for my dream.

I closed my eyes and reinforced my determination.

The heart is with me - always. It is my best friend.

And I would never let my best friend down.

- Never.
