'like a lotus flower 🪷🌿 we too have the ability to rise from the mud bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world'

I believe that our greatest strengths can emerge from our darkest times. Without darkness, no one will be able to see your light.🩷✨

Heliophilia... describes a deep love and longing for sunlight and warmth.

My great-grandfather always talked about them...jackdaws, they were his favorite birds.

His talk of these birds awakened a fascination in me, and the day I saw one for the first time, that fascination grew even stronger. Their ash-colored plumage, their resounding call, but the most captivating thing of all were their storm-gray eyes. Eyes that look straight into your soul and give you the knowledge that these creatures don't just walk in this world.

"There is a beautiful thing inside you that is thousands of years old.

Too old to be captured in poems.

Too old to be loved by everyone

But loved so very deeply by a chosen few."

-Nikita Gill

When the sun is about to set, it bathes everything in a golden light...like a reflection from another world. And this light also shimmers in the eyes of old souls.
