That tiny flicker is the birth of the trinity of self-

acceptance, self-regard and self-forgiveness.

The first steps of the new dance are tentative and

melancholy, yet they provide the oxygen that

feeds the flame.

Even when the environment remains the same,

joy raises its head. The red, burning flame of the

trinity incites an exhilarating sense of freedom.

The environment hasn’t changed but the heart

and mind has. With such inner freedom comes

true, eternal peace.
