TOPIC: "JOURNEY"

A journey is - in the literal sense - overcoming space, moving from place to place. In a deeper sense, it is experiencing пеш adventures, meeting пеш people, пеш cities, countries, and cultures. Our life is a journey.

Everyone from the moment of his or her birth is making a constant journey: in learning, playing, resting, and taking up пеш tasks and challenges.

We can also journey into the worlds of fantasy and imagination: reading a book, matching a film, attending a shorn or an exhibition can all be called a journey. The whole universe is on a journey: the stars, planets, and moons are travelling. Ocean currents and weather fronts are travelling.

People, animals, birds, insects, and plants are travelling. Little and big residents of fields, forests, lakes and rivers, seas and oceans are travelling.

Life on our planet is one big journey - a journey between heaven and earth.

Let this journey be "always green, always blue" for us.
