Description
There once lived a being who, in the desperate and unsuccessful search of light outside, found itself taking its final breaths, tired and fragile, withered and frail. While walking it's final steps down in the darkness into the dead-end path, with nowhere left to go, it decided to pause just for a single moment, out of sheer desperation to save itself. In that stillness it turned and looked within….and this is the image it witnessed. The magnificent grace. Wings which can fly, let go and leave. The fragment of the sun itself, the ever-giving source of life. The flame. The Light! In that moment, it decided to Rise, from the darkness, to finally breath, to fly and to be the light it was always meant to be.
