Young Norma offers a flower to her present-day self, who kneels to receive it across a black-and-white divide, symbolizing the gifts of childhood and connection between past and present.

The Gift Across Time

There was something here
I had forgotten to carry forward.

Insight

I can return to my memories with openness, recognizing that not everything from my past needs to be left behind. My younger self may still hold something I have forgotten along the way—a sense of wonder, curiosity, joy, or possibility. I can receive what she offers without needing to return to who I was. Some gifts are simply waiting to be remembered and carried forward.

Reflection

What might my younger self offer me today that I have forgotten I still possess?
