Once, in the vast realm of light, a little soul sparkled with curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to know what it means to shine,\u201d it told the Great Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo truly know your light,\u201d the Spirit replied, \u201cyou must visit the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen send me,\u201d said the little soul. \u201cBut let me carry your love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another soul stepped forward. \u201cI will go too,\u201d it said. \u201cWhen the time is right, I\u2019ll help you remember.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so the little soul came to Earth\u2014forgetting all it knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It experienced hurt, anger, separation. It wandered, questioning its purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day, in the middle of its pain, it looked into the eyes of someone who had caused it suffering. Something stirred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt the moment in the darkness, when I strike you\u2014remember who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soul wept, not from sorrow\u2014but from remembrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forgiveness bloomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And with it, light returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That night, the little soul dreamt of the stars. And when it awoke, it whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI remember now. I am not lost. I am light, just learning how to shine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
