One wing is fire. The other is form.
One wing is knowing. The other is storm.
Try to fly with one—you’ll spin in the air.
Only with both can you rise from despair.

Knowledge without sweat is like fruit without juice.
Experience without light is pain without use.
But bind them together, in heart and in mind—
And you’ll walk as a god among humankind.

The Benediction

So walk the path not with one eye, but two.
Not with one hand, but both.
Not with one wing, but the full span of your becoming.

Let the flame touch you—then speak of fire.
Let the world break you—then offer healing.
Let your knowledge breathe, and your pain teach.
Only then will your soul be complete.
