Help from man and help above man

Emma had graduated with a fine arts major. However, reality was far from what she envisioned during and right after college. Unable to secure employment, she gradually sank into an overwhelming fatigue and self-doubt. As time went by, this mood spiralled further downward; her confidence had eroded layer by layer, and she turned out to be very hesitant and withdrawn in social situations. It wasn't just the socializing required in gallery circles that overwhelmed her-her once-beloved paintbrush now felt unbearably heavy in her hands.
Emma's mother, Karen, couldn't bear to watch her daughter linger in such a fog of uncertainty. She longed to reignite the fire in Emma's heart. That's when Karen discovered a unique service and saw an opportunity to give her daughter a source of renewed strength. She would send a replica of one of Emma's incomplete paintings to the summit of Mount Rainier. This peak, breathtaking and close to Seattle, appeared to Karen as something that could focus the nature's energy her daughter needed to re-awaken her art interests and find again the courage that was lost.
As she explained to the service team her request, she spoke of Mount Rainier hikes as favorite family activities. She recalled a phrase said by Emma's father: "Mount Rainier is as close to heaven as there is." A team of climbers similarly fought steep glaciers and sudden snowstorms, reaching the summit at sunrise and placing the painting with care. With the help of a drone, they captured stunning footage of the artwork amidst the mountain's wild and majestic beauty.
At last, the video, on getting back to Emma, her painting stood up all angry storm before dissolving into gold and light rising above by sunrise, thus it called up the deep bottom-rested strength within the lady. After many months for the first time, she decided to pick up paint. Only months later, one such masterpiece arose-so captivating that it attracted a gallery owner who gave Emma her first-ever exhibition.
Emma's story is a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is that one quirky act of symbolism to stir in us old desires and potential lying dormant within us, allowing life to sparkle anew.
