To dream is to be hopeful, to visualize a better tomorrow. Now more than ever, it is worth heeding the unique strength and beauty that lies within everything fragile around us, whether this is the delicate sound of a felt piano or the gentleness and wise doubt emitted by a human character. And even when we cannot spot it, we should dream of it.

Keep Dreaming

A poem by Tasos Leivaditis
Narration by Dimitris Kataleifos
Music by Mihalis Kalkanis

I believe in broken watches because I can spit on them without fear
I believe in the five continents for their beautiful colors on the map
I believe in empty rooms that you can unlock and sometimes find yourself
I believe in madmen at prayer and in apple trees at night when they contemplate
I believe in the humble little keepsakes of my mother and in the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary
I believe in the voice of the umbrella mender that is an entire lost youth
I believe in the beautiful birds that fly off the bitterest books
I believe in the friend whom you come upon suddenly in a fairy tale
I believe in the unbelievable that is our truest story
I believe in the moon when it falls into the well, to stay unseen, when the back of the rickety child bends over to see it
I believe in dogs who bark lifting their heads, as if to look at someone passing by higher up…
