It’s not too late in life for you to start having a new dream, or for you to try to make it come true. And it’s okay if you’re still figuring out what your dreams might be, or if your dreams are something others don’t consider ambitious enough, or if an old dream suddenly doesn’t feel like it’s something you want. But if you’ve had a life long dream that you won’t be able to achieve I just hope you know I’m truly sorry and that even though life can be so disappointing, you can still try something else, something different, and that you aren’t a failure or in any way inferior than other people because you couldn’t make those dreams a reality.

Every year, between January 18 and February 23 — 63 days before Easter — Armenians celebrate the feast of Saint Sarkis, the beloved patron of love. There are many exciting traditions associated with this day, one of the most magical being the ritual of dreams. On the Friday before the celebration, young people would fast and, as night fell, eat a salty biscuit. They believed that in their dreams, their future soulmate would appear, offering them a glass of water to quench their thirst. If the glass was full, it was seen as a promise of a long and blissful life together. This year, the feast of Saint Sarkis will be celebrated on the 15th of February.

"If we pay attention to our dreams, instead of living in a cold, impersonal world of meaningless chance, we may begin to emerge into a world of our own, full of important and secretly ordered events."

– Marie-Louise von Franz, The Process of Individuation, in Man and His Symbols, ed. Carl Jung

And she was richer in those dreams than in realities; for things seen pass away, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

L.M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island
