In the quiet embrace of time’s tender touch, there comes a moment when, with joyous elation, you will find yourself at the threshold of your own being. Standing before the looking glass, your reflection will meet your gaze, and in that sacred exchange, both will smile at the other’s arrival, as if long-lost friends reunited at last.

“Sit here. Eat,” you will say to your own reflection, extending an invitation to partake in the feast of life. Once more, you will embrace the unfamiliar soul that resides within, and in this reunion, love will bloom anew for the stranger who was once your very essence.

With a generous heart, you will offer wine, bread, and the warmth of acceptance, returning your own heart to its rightful place, honoring the one who has cherished you from within. In this beautiful dance of self-discovery, you will rediscover the beauty of your own spirit and the love that has always resided within, waiting to be embraced once more.
