When Jule, while bedtime stories were still being told, set out on her gentle, quiet path of dreams, the farther she went, the more softly she heard her parents’ voices, until in the end only a faint whisper remained.

I am so glad that Jule shared some of her great secrets about the world with me and even allowed me to pass them on to you. Sometimes, however, her stories seem far too fantastic to me, so that at times I am not entirely sure whether Jule might not perhaps have dreamed it all. And perhaps we too, at this very moment, are just inside her dream. Who knows …?
