‘Transcendence’ To truly become, we must first surrender. With courage, we brave the darkness that seeks to engulf us, and instead, we harness it as a source of strength, granting us the power to transform. We suffer with a profound joy, understanding that the trials we endure can shape us into beings greater than before. Though our hearts and souls cry out in deep sorrow, grief, pain, anger, and turmoil, we need not lose our sense of identity. We need not succumb to the darkness, but instead, seek the solace and perfect serenity that stands in stark contrast to the essence of life. To embrace the transformative power of tragedy and trial is to find the profound beauty within our struggles.
