Wherever we go in our lives, someone has been there before us. It’s sometimes hard to imagine.
When you walk down the street, when you travel to school or work, when you go about your normal, everyday business you are always surrounded by the past. Memories. Moments. Hopes. Dreams. The lives of others are entwined with ours. We may not notice them, we may not see or feel them, but they are there.
Echoes of the past are all around us. If you close your eyes and think, if you close your eyes and let your imagination run wild, you can almost see them. Almost feel them.
As they pass you by, you start to think. You start to dream…
