Living day by day is insufficient for human beings

Living day by day is insufficient for human beings, We need transcendence, journeys beyond, Escape; we need meaning and understanding, Explanation and interpretation of the patterns that guide our lives. We need hope, the anticipation of a future That illuminates our path and gives us the strength to move forward. We need freedom (or at least, The illusion of freedom) to escape from ourselves, For with telescopes and microscopes and ever-growing technology, We travel to other worlds, Rising above our immediate surroundings. We seek a relaxation of the inhibitions that bind us, So that we can connect with each other, Or transports that make our consciousness of Time and mortality easier to bear. We seek a holiday from internal and external restrictions, A more intense sense of the present, the beauty And value of the world we live in, in every breath. In the boundless field of dreams, we journey to other spheres, With birds of desire flying high, beyond the stars. The need to see into the depths of the soul, Like a mirror reflecting the sea. Through microscopes, we decipher minute secrets, Through telescopes, we explore the giants of dreams. In states of mind that allow us to travel, We rise from the ordinary towards infinite horizons. We need the magic of love, stories That rise above dark clouds, We need the illusion of freedom, which frees us From the chains of ordinary existence. We seek the antidote for the inhibitions That isolate us, bridges that unite us, Transformed into moments of sincere intimacy, A journey to places where hearts join hands. We seek a break from inner traps, To discover the intensity of the present moment, The beauty and value of the lived world, In the web of infinite possibilities. We need light that pierces the gloom, The flight of dreams released into the heavens. New ways to navigate through the complexity of life, To feel the fullness of each day received as a gift. On wings of hope and freedom, we carry ourselves Beyond the limits of days, in search of infinity.
