Alice

Human bonds confine us within narrow spaces that both reassure and limit. Meanwhile, we watch life flowing by — like unstoppable water that surrounds us without uprooting us. 

Child, you have grown too quickly; your legs long to run across the grass… yet, alas, it is not your time. 
Let air and water flow — they will guide your future steps. 
Alice, wait with trust; the day of your departure will come.
