The fact that you are breathing does not mean you are alive. It just means your body is working. To be alive in this world means much more. It means to breathe in all the love and all the joy and to allow it to spread through your body.
Imagine a dream so powerful and fragrant that nothing will allow you to wake from it. Imagine your happiness in it. Now open your eyes, and do not leave the dream. Allow it to completely take you over with its aromas and its power, its warmth and joy, then go out into this life and live it because who says that this, too, is not just a dream? When you realize you can do anything you want, you will know that dreams never end.
