G U I D E S

There are presences we cannot see.

They walk beside us

long before we learn to recognize them.

Some take the form of an animal.
A goddess.
A symbol.
Or a simple sign
placed along our path.

They do not face our trials for us.
They give us the strength
to face them ourselves.

And they remind us,

even in the heart of darkness,
of the light that has never ceased to shine within us.
