clinging to the wreckage of civilization
To embody light with strength and without apology
Stand as the sun—giving light without apology.
The Helios Rite honors fire not for its warmth,
but for its unwavering strength, its straight gaze, its refusal to bow.
At high noon, go where shadow flees.
Stand tall.
Say aloud what you fear to shine upon.
If you flinch, try again tomorrow.
Do not curse yourself—just return stronger.
Light does not shame. It burns until truth is clear.
If you don’t flinch—begin.
Speak boldly. Walk boldly.
Let your presence clarify every room you enter.
