From The Spirit of The Swamp
The imagination leads to big dreams, but at the same time it can be seen in everyday life; for instance, it can help us to reach the next-door neighbor who seems to be worried about something. This doesn't mean that we have to become completely involved in the affairs of our neighbors, but imagination is something we need in order to understand and feel other peoples' pain.
From "Save Our Mother Earth"
Is friendship between a dinosaur and a human only found in the world of Manga?
There is such a thing as spirits calling each other over the vastness of time and space. This is called the "soul mate," and it means that two souls are bound together by an invisible bond. There are lots of books about looking for soul mates, but even the simple act of meeting, coming to like one another and becoming friends is already something full of mystery and magic.
You may have a soul mate in the little bird that flies away in the sky outside the window, or the dog you hear howling far away. Spirits call to each other beyond the limits of form, and if we follow our intuition, listening to the voice of our spirit, we can indeed share a friendship with a dinosaur, or a tiny insect, or anything at all.
