Presence

The special few carry the warmth of the sun in their hearts

Their spark for life spreads into the hearts of everyone around them.

I remember one friend whose laughter was so warm that for a moment the darkness of the world would vanish and the light of their joy was all that I could see.

In this piece the Starlight Angel creates a space of safety where the souls can seek refuge. This being cannot completely remove the icy cold reality of the world but it provides enough support for people to grow stronger.

To me this is what real friendship looks like, people can't remove the thorn in your back for you but they can create space for you to grow strong enough to take it out yourself.

I will forever cherish the people in my life who have provided me with the necessary warmth to survive the hardships of life
