rushing river below. 214 00:13:55,954 --> 00:13:58,954 The pond was full of fish. 215 00:13:59,054 --> 00:14:02,520 Trees provide shade and privacy, 216 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,420 creating a sanctuary within a sanctuary. 217 00:14:10,053 --> 00:14:12,053 She hesitates 218 00:14:12,053 --> 00:14:14,786 for a moment. 219 00:14:14,786 --> 00:14:19,519 Part of her wonders if she should be here, if she deserves this gift. 220 00:14:19,785 --> 00:14:23,818 But then she remembers her fundamental choice: 221 00:14:23,818 --> 00:14:29,284 she wanted to live and she had decided to be curious 222 00:14:29,318 --> 00:14:32,317 instead of scared. 223 00:14:32,517 --> 00:14:36,717 She decides to accept what someone, or perhaps 224 00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:40,383 God himself, has offered her, 225 00:14:40,983 --> 00:14:44,716 at least until she got clarity about her 226 00:14:44,916 --> 00:14:47,916 next steps. 227 00:14:49,016 --> 00:14:53,749 As evening approaches, she prepares dinner 228 00:14:53,749 --> 00:14:57,448 from the vegetables in the garden 229 00:14:57,448 --> 00:15:00,815 and the provisions she finds in the 230 00:15:01,048 --> 00:15:02,315 house. 231 00:15:03,548 --> 00:15:06,548 Grateful beyond words, 232 00:15:07,081 --> 00:15:09,514 she closes the door 233 00:15:09,514 --> 00:15:12,247 of her new temporary home. 234 00:15:12,247 --> 00:15:17,013 She lies down on the bed, enjoying sleeping in a warm bed, 235 00:15:17,013 --> 00:15:20,846 in a safe place without fear or interference 236 00:15:20,846 --> 00:15:23,846 from others. 237 00:15:24,146 --> 00:15:27,746 Sleep comes almost immediately, deep 238 00:15:27,746 --> 00:15:30,745 and this peaceful. 239 00:15:34,878 --> 00:15:37,878 Hmmm 240 00:15:38,211 --> 00:15:41,211 This is Eve Brownyz, 241 00:15:41,711 --> 00:15:48,044 reminding you that every expert was once a beginner, 242 00:15:48,244 --> 00:15:51,643 and every master was once a disaster. 243 00:15:51,843 --> 00:15:53,543 Your path is valid. 244 00:15:53,543 --> 00:15:56,976 Your soul knows the way, and your next step 245 00:15:56,976 --> 00:15:59,976 is waiting for your courage. 246 00:16:05,242 --> 00:16:07,775 Thank you for
