The Stairway of Dreams on the Bell Tower

A short bedtime story about perseveranza, set in magical Sicily.

The Stairway of Dreams on the Bell Tower

Under a quiet Sicilian moon lived The Stairway of Dreams on the Bell Tower. The evening moved slowly, with sea air, flower scents and tiny lights at the windows.

That night a small wonder appeared. The Stairway of Dreams on the Bell Tower did not hurry: The Stairway of Dreams on the Bell Tower looked, listened and let the night explain itself.

With one gentle gesture, The Stairway of Dreams on the Bell Tower discovered that perseveranza can become softer when it is welcomed calmly.

Before sleeping, The Stairway of Dreams on the Bell Tower kept this little thought close: even a very small light can keep us company.

The stars blinked softly, the house grew quiet, and sleep arrived like a warm blanket.

Little thought: even a very small light can keep us company.
