LOOK FORWARD

It was my ability to look forward and see the future that made me great. Still, all of that would have meant nothing if I lost sight of the present moment and forgot to live each day. Lost too we would have been had I forgotten where I came from. Thus, I have arrived here in this present moment. Thus, I look forward to those who come after me. Thus, I look back to find these words, lessons written into my soul after a long life. Thus, I discovered that the Divine gave us two eyes when, really, we need three. One, never forget where you came from. Two, always remember where you are. Lastly, and most importantly, shine a light ahead of you wherever you go. Look forward, because that is what will make you great.

~ Queen Alexia Leveria

Immediately following moments of great suffering and tragedy, the mind needs to seek shelter. In order to act, in order to move on, in order to grow from their tragedy, Alexia and Zander needed to first look forward. When looking back leaves you with nothing but night, you need to look forward and see that tomorrow the sun will rise.
