The journey begins
Two figures facing each other, with a communal cloud of smoke like a speech bubble between them, sharing.
A weight lifts
Two figures holding hands, symbolizing support, sharing. The cloud above the second person was a fully black, big chunk of coffee grounds that fell off to become a cloud or sea of waves formed out of the hair of the second person: holding the weight of something.
A mystical creature?
A Christmas tree or mouse, attached to another mouse or mouse-child. Symbolizes a change of perspective, or seeing things in a way you haven’t before.
Lifting, lifting...
Two figures with much less weight shared. Perhaps they have made it through the clouds.
Birds above
Two figures with a bird flying overhead: clearing airspace, paving the way. Underneath a devil-creature, but not necessarily evil. Perhaps it is clearing the ground beneath?
Reaching the coop
Two figures approaching a chicken coop, with three chickens awaiting them.
A prayer
A figure praying, planting three trees.
An angel in the gingko
An angel blowing wishes into the ether — they become three gingko leaves or lily pads.
