Looking for the sun ranch
Australia is a starting point, it was the destination for Jerry's first foreign trip eight years ago. Dreams are also a starting point, most of us seem to begin our lifelong journey from one dream. Then we face gradual challenges, and gradually forget...... until we feel that dreams are a luxury. A ranch just happens to be his dream.
He should have forgotten it, but he hasn't, all this time. He says that it was hard for him to forget that eight years ago, while travelling in Melbourne he came across a ranch, and he had a feeling that he just brushed past his dream. In that instant, it was forever imprinted in his heart, like a photo never forgotten.
That's why, eight years later, when we were deciding where to go for his new book, we discussed many places: United States of America, Italy, Monaco, Turkey, Cuba...... he said based on feelings, he insisted on returning to Australia.
Because there is a ranch from my dream there.
These eight years, many sights have filled his eyes, his air miles alone have already earned him VIP status early on, and the world has been much, much larger than eight years ago; these eight years, he has met thousands of people and done millions of things, he has experienced a scenic life, and the world has shown many, many more faces to him than he thought possible eight years ago......
But he hasn't forgotten:
One ranch.
One dream.
A starting thought.
"When I do not forget my dreams then I will not forget myself." he says. That was the only reason that after so many years we returned to Australia.
9314.
That is the distance between Taipei and Adelaide, South Australia. That is the distance between truth and dreams. That is the distance that a young boy, after many years, travels to first discover, then transform, into a grown man...... The center of it all is Jerry. But we actually all brought our own dreams along with us. After so much time, to retrace the route of our journey......
Sun ranch
That is the end of our journey. But also the beginning. That is when life returns to the starting point once again. The time when dreams are once again sparkling in the distance.
The nine of us started our journey just like that. (For more exciting excerpts, please see Eurasian Publishing 9314 Men and Boys)
