Meaning

All possibilities are at your disposal. Will you choose to live in mediocrity while having great potential? Foresight. Opportunities have ripened. Reach out. Ask for help. Take advantage of the opportunity hanging before you like a ripe, juicy fruit on a tree. What will you choose? Which path will you take? All are equally promising, leading to prosperity. Rewrite your story. Redefine who you are. Act. Walk boldly. Make the choice you have always aspired to. Fill your voids.

Shadow

The witch stands with her back to the reader. Have you turned away from something important? From a situation that requires attention? Do you define yourself through alienation from a person, place, or thing?
