Some believe that magic does not exist, and perhaps that is true, and it is only fantasy that we can create in our minds and through which we can also walk and travel paths. But sometimes those walks become reality, when a space is created in the physical world to walk between magic and fantasy, to the point of moving us to tears.
Time passes very quickly. In fact, my friend Claudia and I often talk and wonder how we don't see the days go by. Everything goes by at such a fast pace. Today I remembered a walk I took some time ago, one of those night walks that I like so much, but in a very special place, one created with the intention of taking the senses and the heart far away from reality.
At that moment, I felt like I was walking surrounded by magical dust, like you often see in children's films, and in fact, everything around me took me back to those moments. But at the same time, as an adult, I experienced everything I saw much more intensely.
Perhaps it is because I let my heart and intuition get excited easily, that everything surprises me and in that way I enjoy the little things in life and the beauty that is in everything much more.
A very long walk along many paths illuminated by the lights of giant mushrooms, crazy characters from another world, a world where dreams are possible, like the world where children live, unaware that this is not achievable. For them, it is.
A world where you could see the light of the trees themselves, like a radiant energy. That same light and energy that they naturally have, but people never see, only those who are awake and see with their inner eyes. That energy or aura exists, and in this fantasy world we have created, we can see what it is like.
A giant lamp lit my way and that of many others.
And an explosion of colour made its way through an artificial lake full of water lilies, while a beautiful lady sang songs of love and light.
The trees along the different paths lit up to offer walkers a spectacle that only the night made possible, the night and the excitement of the people.
And on my long walk on this magical night, I met a man and a cat from another planet, one who entertained the children and invited them to take pictures, a truly charming cat.
But the walk had to go on and on and my steps never stop, and that led me to a lagoon with giant, colourful lotus flowers, where the trees were dressed up to accompany them and crazy people with funny decorations talked to the people.
And suddenly, as if teleported, I found myself in a world of bamboo where Alice was the name whispered, Alice in a magical world.
The colours of the trees also whispered that name, as if wanting to immerse me in a dreamlike walk and guide me to more magic.
The walk continued until suddenly I found myself in a place where lights fell from the sky and an ice queen greeted the walkers. It was strange, but it didn't hurt. The place was beautiful, and card soldiers guarded the entrance and exit.
Signs appeared along the way to show me different paths to take, and on each one there were new and fantastic things to discover.
I felt like I was in a huge forest, or rather a jungle with a diversity of vegetation, and I felt very small in that unreal and beautiful world, where the trees took care of me, guiding my walk with their multicoloured lights and offering a spectacle that touched the depths of my heart.
The entire walk was immensely beautiful, and when I remember it today, I smile again and would relive it and walk those paths a thousand and one times over.
An exit awaited me, and perhaps when I opened my eyes I would wake up, but I would always remember this magical journey inside me as one of the most wonderful things I have ever experienced.
Thank you for accompanying me on this special Wednesday walk. I send you my warmest regards. See you soon.
