HOL Ravenclaw

— And the day that I do wake up and transcend the holy makeup, I am on my way to a different place. —

As you glide up into the ether of this explosively blue plane, Saffron shares that they wished to bring you here to where the Blue Avians live in this dimension so you could feel the unity of all-that-is here in connection with one another, and to know that there are still beings watching after earth and her humans.

“We won’t stay much longer,” Saffron’s angelic voice sounds like a lullaby, and your eyes begin to feel heavy. “This place drains a great deal of energy for anyone visiting from lower dimensions.”

Registering a pang of disappointment that it’ll be a short visit, something about the place is so soothing, it makes you unable to worry too much.

“These people operate at incredibly high frequencies of light and vibration,” Saffron elongates an arm with its eyes fixed on one of the birdlike natives whose own arm reaches back out in return. Static electricity sizzles as tiny fireworks of cobalt and cerulean crackle between angel and avian. “Mostly they wish to engage with humanity conversationally as guides. It may not be all that surprising then that they provide a lot of wisdom and support for your kind in times of transitional upheaval or spiritual transformation.”

“My kind being earth humans?” you ask.

“All humans,” they say. “This race of avians volunteered to be eternally and intrinsically tied to the human cycles of growth.”

A long, luxurious yawn sneaks up on you as blue feathered wings beat a calming rhythm that fills you with comfort.

“I’m feeling a little …drowsy,” you droop, then nod back off to sleep as Saffron mentions something about the life and death of a phoenix.

Task:
Create a piece of Art depicting the Blue Avians or any of your preferred extraterrestrial friend(s) and post the work below! Remember that imagery embedded into the forum should be 600x600px or less in size.

Alternatively you may share a piece of Wisdom you’ve found in your life, using 150 words to describe what it is, why it’s meaningful to you and/or perhaps how you came to learn and/or embody this information.

This task is worth 15 beans/sapphires, with an additional 15 bonus beans/sapphires for completing all Week Two tasks by end of activity. Deadline is 11:59pm (HOL time) on Sunday July 28th.

A piece of wisdom that I've found or realized is that you shouldn't care what others might think of you. There will always be some who will never like you. I often find myself trying to please everyone around me, fearing rejection or disapproval. Doubly so since I've become disabled, this need for validation is exhausting and, frankly, impossible.

The turning point came when I realized that no matter how kind, generous, or accommodating I was, there would always be individuals who didn't mesh with me. For some reason, we've never clicked. And since I've realized that it's been quite freeing. It taught me to focus on being true to myself rather than molding myself to fit others' expectations.

This reminded me that my value doesn't diminish based on others' opinions. Learning this wisdom also allowed me to form deeper, more genuine connections with those who appreciate me for who I truly am.
