"You enter a location opposite a place, yet next to an area. The kind of place where you may find peace. Or perhaps discomfort. As you look onwards, a white light slowly fills your heart. It soothes you, burning your eyes.
Suddenly, the light reveals you are standing on a cloud. Not just any cloud, but a cloud made out of dreams. Salty, salty dreams. The kind you had when you were younger, perhaps after a bad day at school or a particularly nasty argument with your beloved pet puppy. As you stand, lamenting your childhood and contemplating this, the cloud has gone. Disappearing forever, much like those bad memories.
In its place, a clear pool of water. You leap into the pool, preparing for the cool liquid to hit you. But they never do. You do not fall into the pool. As you leap, you continue rising, falling eternally into the sky. You slowly pick up speed, zooming through the cosmos. Across the shoulders of Ursa Major and Orion, to the very tip of the universe. There, you find a wall. Maybe brick, or some type of grey stone. You land on it at full speed - very gently - feet firmly planted on the wall, looking down it to the rest of the universal spread before you.
You take one step forward, and as you do the wall begins to crumble. You are thrown forwards, tumbling forward forever, until you stop. Or maybe you don't. Tumble. Tumble. Tumble. Crash.
Face up, lying down. It is dark. Too dark to see. The stars are gone. Your eyes adjust slowly, or quickly. You can see in the dark, but it is too dark to see. You turn, confused. As you turn, you see before you the shape of a mammal. A striped mammal. The only mammal you could ever want to see. It is a majestic zebra, galloping motionlessly.
Suddenly, it morphs into a tiger, and your previous notion becomes obsolete. You are calmly afraid. Happy. Terrified. Its eyes pierces the darkness, which you still cannot see through. The stars begin to reappear, but you cannot see them.
Suddenly, the tiger begins to morph. He turns white, and slowly becomes the silhouette of a man. You go to speak, but no words appear. The man puts a solitary finger on your mouth. As you choke on your words, you feel the arms of a woman slowly wrap around you, from your back all the way around. You feel her breath on your ear, as she whispers the words you have been waiting to hear...
Tiger is Love, she says. Tiger is Life."
