Searching for peace. He is Atlas, residing underneath the weight of this world. Carrying our burdens, rocking the earth to sleep with the rise and fall of his steady breathing. Despite his great strength, he is gentle and compassionate; he has love for us all. Able to surrender to the exhausting task at his own will, to simply drop the world into the abyss and walk away; he stays. He holds us close, he keeps us safe. Would the world be a lighter burden, if we were all so selfless?
