"i find myself bathed in sin, with precious memories of self long-forgotten. suffered by mortality and love, i am alone in this painted world of blue.

warm waves crash over me as if to wake me up from an unending nightmare.

i am stuck but i am not alone. those that have followed me all this way offer me their hearts and lend to me their unwavering faith.

yemaya, i trust you to show me the way. my mother will guide me there, my brother will lend to me his arms when i am falling, and my sister will remind me of my path and of the future to come.

i suppose it's up to me to keep pressing forward against all odds.

if i am in a world of darkness, what's left but to create light?"
