CINTA

Like a cloak of ethereal ribbons that dance to the whims of the wind, illusion and eagerness also mark the way, a path of energy with changes to the script, a transition of stages and spaces that expand and contract, where dreams take shape and eagerly yearn for a moment of overwhelming euphoria. A peak, like a mirage, where for an instant you recall happiness and purity, that sentiment that takes you back to the fascination of childhood and flies you to an unknown world that suddenly calls to you. A moment of life that is worth its weight in gold, a ribbon that lights you up and urges you to embark on a new path, a new horizon that holds the magic of creating something which is yet to exist.
