DRAGON

The world is divided when it comes to dragons. In Eastern cultures, dragons are mystical–divine, even. They are usually positive creatures which exist between us and the realm of the gods, or even as representations of the divine on Earth. They symbolize power and control over Earthly forces like water and the weather.

In the West, dragons are monsters. Firebreathing reptiles which descend upon a town to wreak havoc and maybe find their next meal. They’re a fight, a trial, a challenge to be met.

Ultimately, we’ll say: slay your dragon. But don’t forget the gift that every challenge is.
