Light as a Feather

Once you’ve done the hard work of protecting your past and pushing toward the light, you reach a point of stillness. In the old stories, this was the moment of truth: Is your heart heavy with the past, or is it light enough to fly?

We often carry the “broken” parts of our history like lead weights. We think being strong means carrying it all. But true strength—the kind the Scarab represents—is about transformation. It’s about processing that weight until your heart feels light again.

Being “light” doesn’t mean your past didn’t happen. It means it no longer anchors you to the ground. You’ve done the labor. You’ve earned the protection. Now, it’s time to see how high you can actually go.
