Once upon a time and still there is… a hope which is hidden in our hears for certain, that it is possible to live life in a different way, through the eyes and hugs of the heart.
Little Eylu takes our hand and grasps it in her sweet and delicate little hand, invites us to play with her and live the great adventure of Tales among the Worlds.
Her tale begins like many others, once upon a time and there is still a small ancient wooden door. It can be found by entering the heart after taking one, two, three deep breaths, closing the eyes and …
You look around and find a garden, luxuriant plants, colourful flowers and shrubs surround you, beyond the trees you see a wall, in smooth stone with climbing plants which adorn it.
There arrives a child, she is small with black hair with a red ribbon, lively eyes, their colour is indefinable, they are so full of light and vivacity that they seem now dark and cunning, and then transparent like water while staring at you.
“What’s happening??” you ask yourself, your expression is so clear that the little girl says to you: “Is it so important for you to know immediately what is happening? Can’t you just play with me, can you? I am Eylu, come, follow me.” Eylu wears a white shirt and a red dress, white socks and black shiny shoes.
“Unbelievable,” you think, “she is wild but it is as if she has just come out of a shop window perfectly dressed and combed,” she takes you by the hand and pulls your arm “come and play with me, come on!” and she drag you among the trees, she must have walked the path many times, she seems like a creature from the woods, she is so agile and slips among the trees. “Here we are, we have arrived”, in front of you stands the rock wall with climbing ivy, it seems you are at the entrance of a stage.
You hear voices, sounds, chirps coming from behind the rock “But how is it possible!” you look around, they really come from behind the rock, Eylu gently lifts the ivy and then slips under it disappearing, under the climbing plant just rock. “Where is she ? Give me patience!”, you stop. Then you hear a chuckle held back, from the curtain made of leaves, Eylu comes out amused: “You make me laugh you know hihihihhi, you look like a sack of potatoes hihhihihi, you adults are sometimes really too serious … you are funny you make me laugh”.
How not to melt into a smile, how not to follow her, teased by her laughter.
They lift the ivy and this time they see a wooden door with iron inlays that embellish it.
You would like to enter, Eylu pulls you by the arm, she would like to whisper something into your ear first” before entering you must let go of all sad thoughts, worries and fears”. You crouch to listen better and she looks into your eyes “promise me that
everything you say and do, you will do it with the eyes of the heart. Promise me”
You promise and she hands you some stones, “these are yours, every time we journey through the door you have to take them with you, they will take you back here at the end of each adventure, remember, with these you come home” …
Eylu will guide us on many journeys, to discover us and a world that awaits us
See you soon
