LET IT SHINE
One of the greatest powers of Christmas lights, and scenes, is to make viewers think that everything inside is happy and peaceful. And although it’s not always, only the idea brings hope. Hope we need.Christmas has a tricky part. It gets to a point where you don’t have all you once had in previous Christmases, and so it embraces a nostalgic bittersweet feeling that keeps you in the middle of many emotions. That could be seen as sad, or as beautiful. I rather see it as beautiful because it means that I have loved and that love still lives and will always live in my heart. So I balance, and I let the tears from my heart wet the joy of my spirit.
GROW
He was so afraid to live. His only company was the green grass, an old friend that used to always give the same advice: “Enjoy your roots, they’re all you have”.But then time went through, and the three grew, and the clouds became part of his life, and they taught him how to enjoy the horizon. And so he never left his roots but learned to shine to the joy of beauty.
EMOTIONS
Many times, emotions are an unknown land. It’s like our world dives through so much and we don’t let ourselves explore correctly. This happens because we are afraid to endure what we don’t -immediately- like.
So, I’ve conquered a way to handle this. I mix my happy emotions with my sad emotions, so, the happy ones get to be even more thanked for, because like that, they don’t get taken for granted, and the sad ones become easier to swallow because they get to come along with the sparkle of hope that comes from happiness. That’s my mix of colors.
TREASURE CHEST
There is a fairy inside. She is obsessed with shining stars, so she started collecting them. She is trying to decide in what forest she will place all the ones she’s got, but in the meanwhile, to make sure they stay alive, she has to keep them inside of the magical treasure chest, which is also her flying home. It seems old on the outside, but it’s a beautiful place inside :). Some of the stars just got out for a moment, to marvel with the beauty of the ocean.
THE ENCHANTED FOREST
Inspired by Disney's Once Upon a Time, this scene takes me to my dream place. A magical tiny house, in the middle of the woods. A place to connect with myself and everything I love. A place to rejoice with each one of my realities.
HEAVEN
To a very dear friend who deeply loves elephants.
