You are right about childhood dreams and goals. They give us a sense of purpose and aspiration, even though we don't fully understand all the implications some of them poses, such as dangers. It's a wonderful feeling to be able later in life to say that I've always wanted to do this or that since childhood, now it's come true. I was pleased to read that it was Estrella's dream to fly among the clouds. Of course, now we have airplanes to take us there.

What a lovely story of hopes and dreams you shared. I enjoyed the descriptive view from the ballooin of the sights Estrella encountered. Take care.
