The Juggler

The juggler stops in the middle of the square, picks up three oranges and starts tossing them into the air. People gather around him, and begin to admire the grace and elegance of his gestures.

"Life is more or less like this, someone tells the traveler. We always hold an orange in each hand while the other is in the air. But it's the latter that makes the difference. It may have been thrown with skill and experience, but it follows its own course."

Like the juggler, we throw a dream into the world, and we don't always control it. In such moments, we must know how to rely on God, to ask Him for the dream to complete its path with dignity and, at the right moment, fall back into our hands realized.
