You can go round in circles, remaining in your own dimension, without moving forward … and towards disunity. Radical mood, heartrending shout, combustion of prisms through which worlds might have been built correctly. The feeling that we all are together, but separately.

We are at loggerheads because of differences of opinions, attitudes to personalities, events, instead of finding uniqueness in our distinctions and use it skillfully. All our differences together form the unique experience that has to be accumulated, analyzed and passed to next generations.

Since we all have one and the same goal.

To breathe the air of something incredible, to catch the notes of unknown in the air, to look for perfect ideals to follow through the thorns to the stars, to reach inaccessible breath of space that gently falls down to Earth in the arms of our bold dreams.

Turn over the page, start your story again. There is another territory ahead, another scale of responsibility, ability to be open to the world and present yourself.

Yes, you have zero knowledge in an unfamiliar environment, but it is also your world. So move forward to new boundaries, broaden your horizons, look for and get lost.

Let’s work together for common goals, ideas and values that are important for us as a society. Let’s move towards tolerance, healthy debate and awareness that we all are one organism. So we invite you to join the group of associates and build common bridges.

Do you already have your own one?
