The Sailor-man's Dream

"It is a dream you don’t dare to ask" he said to me, "Sometimes heaven seems easier to reach" he paused for some time and he resumed "it is a selfless dream, but in this selflessness you find your real self. It is like a disease that will end your life and in this disease you really appreciate life and start enjoying it."


I smiled, although you can tell from his voice that he was almost crying. He is simple, he is wise, and he was smiling while talking.

As Wind to a sailing boat, so this dream was to him.

He moves daily with it.

He understood that clearly as he owned a sailing boat.

When the sun is too hot and the wind fades he got stuck in his boat, he usually uses paddles, it is usually very hot when there is no wind, and even rowing with paddles becomes a much tougher task in that hot weather.

His house is near the sea, so is his boat, the sea has taught him that this life is not stable, some days the sea is calm and other days is not, sometimes the sky is clear and sometimes it is not!

"Tell me more about your dream" I said

He looked at me and took a deep breath, and then he looked at the sky with a raised head, he was having this calm confident smile, we remained silent after that and nothing cuts this holy silent except birds in the sky and the sound of the displaced water while sailing with his boat in the days of this life.
