Halcyon days of mortal youth pass quickly in the presence of forces of nature. The sunlight that once warmly embraced my body will do so no more. Neither will the zephyr breezes brush against my skin whenever I seek a cool repose. In my last fleeting moments of mortal life, I yearn to feel the warmth of sunlight upon my being and to linger in the presence of a gentle wind. As I lie here in the verdant grass, blood dripping, accompanied by the magnificent presence of the sun and breeze, I lament the passing of days.
Yearning for the comforting sensations of my past life, I find myself embracing a new sensation. I feel a coolness without a breeze and warmth without a sun, a feeling without a body, a life with no heartbeat. But most importantly, I sense that my being has grown exponentially while my body shrunk to a minute stature. There is no pain in my new form, there is only a feeling. A feeling which yearns for growth, which yearns for the warmth of the sun, which yearns for the rain.
As I gradually grow over the course of three weeks, my body expands as I emerge from the comforts of my new bed, pushing aside the layers of my sheets to reveal an old companion I never thought I'd see again.
Comforting. My friend, the sunlight, greets me in my new form and I bask in the welcoming warmth. In the embrace of sunlight, I feel not only warmth but also a sense of belonging, as if this radiant energy courses through my soul, binding me to a new existence. This feeling is like that of a faun and its mother.
I feel the wind upon my body once more, however it no longer comforts me and lulls me into a soft slumber with its singing. It urges me towards action. It urges me to hasten as if I were on borrowed time.
No amount of feeling would prepare me for what would happen just two weeks after my emergence. Something within me was changing rapidly. I felt an expansion of soul and body unlike any other.
The blooming of the mind and body started as I showed myself, Psyche, and physique on full display towards the heavens.
Heavens and the divine could not express the ecstasy I felt at that moment. The moment the zephyr winds beckoned me for. My being unfolded as my face looked towards the sky once more, seeing my true love. The soft sun.
