A participants letter
On the last day of the Sunrise Camp, a participant from a country I won't name presented me with a letter:
"Jens,
Thank you for all the talking, you have reminded me of things I had forgotten or just accepted. You've given me hope again, I cannot tell you how much it has meant that you knew about my country and have broadened my horizons. I hope that now I will open my eyes to the world.
Thanks, (participants name)"
If it is not clear what is being talked about, it is the political situation in the country of the participant and the relation to other countries; the participant in question comes from a poor oppressed country.
And as a postscript this quote followed:
"Those who dream at night, in the dusty recesses of their minds, awake to find all was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men lest they make their dreams possible." Which I believe is T.E. Lawrence (okay I googled it), where the original quote showes up at:
“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.â€
I like the first one best, how about you?
