They’d know he’d walk to the ends of the earth, over river and mountain, to build a beautiful life for himself and her.
If they would have looked deeply….

What they didn’t know…
Was the strength and will inside him, more powerful and bright than a thousand suns, of which no storm would conquer.
What they didn’t see…
Was the lonely first step into the storm, as his light began to cut into the darkness and his journey begin.
