Allow Yourself to Dream

My dear seeds,

In the kingdoms of Japan, of Asia and also of Europe there was a king who lived very happily because he loved dragons, he only talked about dragons and he only loved dragons and he only wanted dragons.

He had his castle built in the shape of a dragon, the furniture had the head of a dragon, the body of a dragon, the armchairs had dragon legs, everything was dragon inside the palace, one was golden, the others coloured, but all in gold.

Outside there were beautiful gardens with fountains, guess what the fountains were like... they were all in the shape of dragons: a small dragon for a fountain, small dragons to make a whole avenue, with water spurting out of its mouth, just like the Alhambra in Granada, my beautiful dream.

And the big fountains were splendid, big dragons, with a big jet of water coming out of their mouths, where waterfalls spread out. It was a marvel, everything, everything, everything. The garden had flowers, bushes, trees, but also in the shape of a dragon.

She had the best gardeners who worked especially to draw and shape them into dragons. So much so that his jewellery and rings were miniature dragons and he wore on his chest, on his chest, he wore a gold dragon, precious with pearls, emeralds, rubies, diamonds, it was a unique jewel.

Everything, everything was dragons, everything was dragons. He had his soldiers dressed in red and gold, representing dragons, and the king lived happily.

One day he said to his subjects: "I would so much like to see a dragon if it really existed, just to see it, I would be the happiest man in the world, that would be my complete happiness".

And one night the city was very quiet, peaceful, there was a gentle, sweet breeze, suddenly the windows of the palace, of the king's room, suddenly opened wide, they made a lot of noise and the king woke up and was afraid.

For he said, "What is that wind, what is that noise?"

And then he looked out of the window and suddenly he saw a huge, ravenous mouth open and a little spark of fire began to come out, louder, bigger, bigger, bigger.

A huge flame that began to burn the papers that were there, everything that was on the table. The king was so frightened that he looked and said: "It can't be, it's a dragon". He called out to his guard: "Guards, guards, guards, guards help, kill the beast, kill the beast!"

The guards thought it was a beast they had never seen, indeed they had never seen it, and they killed it. So many, many guards came and killed him.

Once they killed him, the king came and said, "from today I don't want any more dragons, destroy them, destroy everything that looks like a dragon."

My seeds, beloved ones,

What happens when sometimes we want to achieve dreams that remain as dreams? And we cannot have these impossible dreams, because we have to be realistic, dreaming is good, what is more difficult is to realise that dream, but fantasy will always be fantasy.

So don't want to be heroes or heroines of those films or cartoons or stories that don't exist. You have to be more realistic and strive to achieve your dreams with your feet on the ground.

Studying, having a good profession, doing something that is unique and that a good company can give you, having initiatives to be able to do good catering, good cooking, good cakes, good paellas, good butter biscuits, these are realities, dreams that are made, that are fulfilled, but above all, take away the fantasy, because it can never be achieved, it doesn't exist.

So let's leave that king, because the kings are you, my seeds, men and women, you are all kings and queens, all of your heart, of your soul, which is very big and where you reign and your kingdom is the Universe.

With all my love,

The Jardinera
