And, um, I realized, ah, I'm the dragon. Um, because I, the little fairy character who would be me is like seeing the bones that this dragon and like the carcasses. And then it was like, that's kind of gross. But, um, then it was like, oh, that's me doing my inner work. That's the dragon. Like, and I'm seeing it. I'm putting light on it. Right.

You've seen the pain. You've touched it with love. Right? Yeah. Yeah. You, then you get to the dragon and you're like, oh my balls, you're so beautiful. I love you. I love you. Yeah. Right? And then you can fly off. But it's, it's to me, that's a mythical way of explaining that union within yourself.
