Journey of Man
I don't remember how it all began.
I have no idea where it would end.
I only knew feelings - sensations.
And so began my journey.
I was born with only instincts as my guides.
And I knew them when they're came to me.
In those childhood days they have never left my side.
They were all I knew.
And all I need.
I'm not sure if I saw these things...
... or dreamed of them.
But true or imagined...
...they filled my heard with joy.
And one day I've learned that joy has a friend -
called fear.
But my faithful instincts have showed me that with fear comes courage.
And courage has another friend -
called wonder.
In my youth there were many tracks and few sign posts.
But I was young and bold.
And on my way to new adventures.
My childhood fantasies were behind me now.
Ahead were many mysteries and marvellousness.
I have outgrown my childhood guides.
And I knew I could be strong and daring.
I was a young man with young man's dreams.
Everything was possible.
Because I raised along to my great adventure.
Then one day I have stopped my head strong rush and paused.
Like standing on the shoreline of the dream.
I have sensed a power that I couldn't explain.
Then it came to me.
When I became a man I've learned
that harmony and union make each of us complete.
And I saw it's name was - love.
It was time to act like a man and make a deal.
Wealth and power could buy me a love I needed.
I no longer needed childhood fantasies and youthful dreams.
I had found love and had to own it's secrets.
As a man I had achieved my goals.
My journey had been a success.
And yet...
...sometimes distant memories returned to haunt me.
Childhood visitations of half-forgotten friends.
And occasionally doubts and troubles invaded my seclusion.
In that moment time fell away and years turned to dust.
I was young again.
Now I remembered where I began my journey.
As a child full of dreams,
full of faith
and full of love.
At last my journey could be completed.
Each of you was born with three keys to the doors of your journey.
The first is for your dreams.
It let's you make the impossible possible.
The second is for your faith.
It tells you to believe in youth.
And above all the third is for love.
The instinct to respect each other.
Dreams, faith and love.
With these three - anything is possible.
It is your journey - but it is our destination.
