... our dream
How Cailin drew me, age 7
Vroumvroummm…
My motor is spinning slowly, I'am dreaming...
In my dream, I share my love for this planet with all the 7 billion people and 7 billion vehicules who drive on it. We all take care of her, so that she can continue welcoming us forever. We all know, since we were babies or brand new cars, how to live together and share our happiness. Every day we give and receive lots of free little pleasures and the joy circulates. Disputes still exist, but are no longer scary. Conflicts can be difficult sometimes, but we believe that they are occasions to train our hearts and motors to keep on working properly, with compassion.
When I wake up after such a dream, every day is sunny, even when it rains a lot!
Some grown-ups might mistakenly say "You're dreaming!" Yes, I am. But I'm doing more than that, and so does my 7x7 family. Do you know the legend of the hummingbird? When the forest was burning, he kept on taking in his beak one drop of water after another and bring it to the fire. The other animals laughed at him. "That makes no sense!" Yes, it does. If everybody does his part, it will work.
So we too, we are doing our part to help make life on this planet even more beautiful, for today and also for millions of years to come ... Sometimes by changing small habits in our daily lives, but also by big projects and concrete actions. Our dream doesn't end when we wake up. No, that's when we begin to create it.
How Arthur imagined I would be, age 7
- Discover who we are and how we can lighten up this world with our passion and spread the joy of being alive!
- Do our best to live together as a family in a way that would make this world a happier place.
- Carry out projects to give others the desire and the courage to build, in real life and without delay, the life of their dreams.
Why do I dream of travelling ?
For the fun of discovering the desert, the jungle, the savanna...
For the laughs when I try a new game that the African kids learn me...
For the fear (a little bit) when I hear a real lion very nearby...
For the opennes of the Mongols when the invite us into their yourt...
For the excitement when I cross a river in my four-wheel-drive-mode...
For the magical rythmes when we dance with our Latino friends...
For the freedom of living every day how we choose to, together...
Travelling, that also means being « on your way »
My name is Tao! In Chinese that means "path".
Being on your way is more that just changing places. It's the pleasure of being on your own way, of discovering where life leads you. We are all travelling somewhere.
How Cailin imagined me, age 7
I love meeting others and discovering what unites us and how we are different. Can you imagine that you might be weird to someone from elsewhere? And how come that other people find themselves normal if they are not like you? Since I understood this, I am confident. We all have a heart (or a motor ;-) and we all want to live happy lives in the midst of other people feeling just as well as we do. This is what awaits us in the world.
I want to see with my own headlights how marvellous our planet is. I love her so much that I want to show you her beauty over and over again! And since I love her, I want to take care of her. So I try. It's true, I drink fuel, but less than some houses do to keep warm. And that's really my only failing! I would love to drive on electricity, but I'm too heavy. And I can't ask my family to bring even less stuff, they've already left so much behind to fit inside!
How Arthur imagined me, age 7
The 7 of us live close to nature, and my family spends almost as much time outdoors as I do! The sun gives us the energy we need for our home. And we give each other our human warmth, and sometimes even some good angry heating up. Because we are part of nature, and we function the same way, with ups and downs.
I believe that we are marked for life by the experiences that we go through ourselves. I hope I can share a little bit of it all that with you. Enjoy jour ride!
