'When you wish upon a star, wake up far from where you are, when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true…'

Cycling blindly into centrifuges of wounds, trapped again and again. Past memories converge into new sources of pain and experience, yours and mine. What clarity of thought and understanding does it take to extricate ourselves from our past sorrows.
 
To begin a new life. To exist together within our highest possible realm – compassion, intelligence, communion. How to evolve, transcend into our present future. Can an image – a vision of hope, a wish, forge a path into reality? In the darkness I reach light, as you and I feel pinnacles of union and joy.
