Pain is unrealized wisdom, revolution is incessant

Inspiration: This piece came out of my own grieving process and observing how through time, patience, and surrender, pain is transformed into understanding. This is a relatable experience to anyone who has felt heartbreak, disappointment, betrayal, an injury, or so on. Through the lens of myth, adversity can teach us fundamental lessons of the human experience; the interconnectedness of pain, growth, acceptance, and the meaningful mercy of being able to experience both pain and joy.
