“The Garden Beyond the Clouds”
The Garden Beyond the Clouds: A Story of Healing and Homecoming The moment Lena opened her eyes, she knew she was no longer in the world she’d known. The pain in her chest—constant, crushing—had vanished. In its place was a stillness so profound it felt like standing inside a breath that had been held for centuries and finally released.

She stood on a path of white stones winding through endless fields of light—not sunlight, but something gentler, something that warmed from the inside. And as the breeze touched her skin like a mother's hand, Lena understood: she had come home.
