Day 333: Birthday Intention
Rome is full of them—demons. Not the kind that roar or rage, but quiet ones, lingering behind holy men, weaving through prayers and whispers. They try to stay hidden, but one look in a priest’s eyes today, and there it was. Harmless, really. Just feeding on the distress that gathers in places like this—places where people come searching for answers, for hope.
It’s no surprise, is it? Sites of worship have always drawn the lost and the longing. The energy here is heavy—a perfect feast for unseen things that thrive on human struggle. But I don’t fear them. I see them for what they are.
Still, as I walk these streets, my thoughts drift to what I can leave behind—not demons or despair, but light. I want to paint something here, but I’m not sure if the opportunity will unfold. I’ll be heading out with locals today, and maybe I’ll find a safe space, somewhere I can create in peace, without stress. I need that—because I have no intention of becoming food for demons.
It’s not about what’s visible. It’s about what lingers. My gift to myself today is the intention to travel and leave behind something no one can take away—a quiet beacon, a reminder that even in places where demons gather, light always finds a way.
This is my birthday intention. Thank you, God, for showing me this path today and for giving me the strength and courage to face them without fear.
