Put your feet on the ground. That is what we, dreamers, often hear, usually at home.

Well, I believe that the world belongs to dreamers. Those capable of imagining what no one imagines, of walking towards mystery, of asking questions, of questioning everything. Frida Kahlo said "feet, why do I need them if I have wings to fly". Dreamers are born with wings.

It's easy to say "don't let them cut your wings off." But the wings are generally cut when we are children.

If you feel that your wings were cut from a very young age, don't worry my friend. When you feel ready they will grow again.

Versión en español

Pon los pies en la tierra. Eso es lo que los soñadores escuchamos a menudo, generalmente en nuestros hogares.

Pues yo creo que el mundo nos pertenece a los soñadores. Aquellos capaces de imaginar lo que nadie imagina, de caminar hacia el misterio, de hacernos preguntas, de cuestionarnos todo. Decía Frida Kahlo “pies pa que los quiero si tengo alas para volar”. Los soñadores nacemos con alas.

Es fácil decir “no dejes que te corten las alas”. Pero las alas generalmente son cortadas desde niños.
