Sleeping, Afraid, Awaken
Most people move through life as if in a dream. They are Sleeping, unaware of what unfolds before their very eyes. The signs of change, the tremors of truth, the shifting of power—they pass unnoticed, muffled by the comfort of routine. To sleep is to surrender to illusion, to mistake shadows for substance, and to let the world be decided without one’s gaze.
Those who stir from sleep often find themselves Afraid. Fear is the first guardian at the threshold of awakening. It whispers: stay where you are, remain in the bubble, do not risk the unknown. The bubble is warm, familiar, and safe—or so it seems. Yet it is a fragile shell, easily shattered by reality. Fear binds them to the familiar, even as the familiar decays.
But there are the few—the Awaken. They stand steadfast, eyes open to the currents of history, hearts attuned to the pulse of truth. They do not shrink from discomfort, nor do they retreat into illusions. They know that change, long awaited, is not a distant promise but a rising tide. The Awaken are not merely observers; they are sentinels, guardians of conscience, and heralds of transformation.
And in their endurance, the world begins to turn.
