She was 5

"I lived in Florida. But now I live here."
"Yeah, me too. I lived in Brazil, but now I live here. I moved."
"Eh... I don't like to move."
"I know... But moving can be good. You get to know different places and people, right?
"Yeah, but... I prefer Florida."
"But you can always visit there, right?"
"Yeah, but they took the things out of my house.'Cuz I had a castle. My room was tiny, but the house was really big and beautiful."
"Well... maybe you have to build a new castle here."
"What castle?"
"The castle of your dreams. That's what I'm trying to do."
"But how?"
"I don't know, I'm just starting too. But I think it will be much better than my last one."
"My mom and my dad and my sister loved our castle. It was so good."
"Maybe. But now you can build your own castle. Exactly the way you want. It will be the best, and you won't even remember why you thought the last one was that good."
"...Can I paint it pink?"
"Of course! Anything is possible."

Hush

Just shut up. Stop it. Drop it. Listen. Can you hear it? It's your heart, constant and happily beating and yelling that you're fine and alive, while still unnoticed by your ignorance. Now close your eyes and look deep inside yourself. No view can ever be as beautiful as this one. Now feel the ground below your feet, the world around you. You're part of it. There's no beginning, no end. Just love. Unconditional divine love connecting you to each and every being in this world to something even bigger. Something made of the love we share. Something as strong as our dreams. We may try to define this something as much as we want, but the bottom line always is: I'm so glad to be here, who I am, with me, with you, forever.
