Before I could continue tending the garden of stories entrusted to me, the Lord gently stayed my hand. In that pause, He revealed a flower I hadn’t expected—a story blooming in the shade beyond my gaze. This tale blossomed in the quiet hollow: a treasure, a necessary bloom bearing truths I needed to receive before I could fully understand the wisdom of the garden’s remaining flowers.
Of Death & Love: An allegory through Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs
This story is an allegory shaped by Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs, following the life of a Queen as she discovers the vanity of all her striving. Nothing she builds, chases, or achieves can hold. Meaning slips through her fingers. Sense unravels. And in the wreckage of her self-made kingdom, she is found by the King of Love. Through His relentless pursuit, she begins to understand where true love, fulfillment, and meaning come from—not in effort or accomplishment, but in surrender to the One who will never let go.
