She looks stunning in her iridescent dress, light dancing across her skin, impossible emerald hues undulating to a music only she can hear. Bathed in radiance, she sends luminescent tendrils into the sky, reaching out, offering her hand and the promise of so much more, saying Hello, I am here. In that moment, from across the way, her beauty seems to explode the meaning of the word “awe” and replace it with something whose contours can never fully be delineated. She is expansive yet so small, an astonishing life force protected from harm by the thinnest of shields.
