I Said I Can or A Little Story About Love

"You're not defeated when you're bleeding,

nor when your eyes are full of tears.

The true defeats will take place only

if you give up your dreams."

Radu Gyr (Romanian poet - translation)

This story is for grandchildren, 8 and up, grandparents, and in between, because it's about love; love is ageless and it's for all. Love created the universes, and Love keeps them together. Love created Life; Love is Life and Life is Love.

The aspects of Love are unlimited, and even reversible; it affects a person's actions in both directions, good and bad. When the direction is positive, love leads to evolution, and when is negative, it causes transformation. Even hate, which is "love upside down", can be transformed to become "love upside up".

This story can be the symbol of everyone's life which unfolds in two stages.

The primary stage could be called the Abstract or Conceptual phase. It takes place in the soul and mind. It begins with a Dream, which ignites Motivation, which in turn generates a Goal, and the Goal sparks ideas and designs Planning.

The second stage could be called the Action phase. It activates the heart and mind to carry out the Dream, giving life to the elements elaborated in the first stage, and it doesn't stop until the fulfilment of the Dream is achieved. This Achievement could be called the Adventure of one's life. What is life's adventure if not jumping into the unknown because only there can be found everything that one wants and desires to have? Is it possible for every "I" to get in the end what every "I" really wants and dreams of? "I" represents every person, at any age, everywhere, at any time, in every place, in all existing worlds, and yes, it can. When the mind is opened, a loving heart carries a free spirit, and with focus, determination and perseverance, everything is possible and achievable.

Therefore YES! "I" can, because "I" declares with conviction:

"I SAID I CAN!"
