Growing up is not a sudden leap, but a series of quiet, unseen battles. It begins the moment we step—or are pushed—beyond the familiar, into a world too vast for our small frame. For the duckling, that first drift from the nest feels like both freedom and fear. Above the surface, there is grace, a calm glide across water. But beneath—a different story unfolds: frantic paddling to stay afloat, aching effort to find direction. It is a tender struggle—learning without instruction, falling without rescue, moving forward with nothing but instinct and hope. In that space between fear and motion, growing quietly takes hold. A glimmered glide on silver sheet, the world reflects a hush complete. Yet underneath, small currents pull—each stroke unseen, each moment full. She drifts from warmth, from nestling call, so soft, so slight—and yet, so tall. A fragile will, a quiet flame, too young to know she won’t be the same."
