As the fire rages in her eyes and her home, a mother reminds her child that they are not alone. Tigresses grooming their cubs isn't just an act of cleanliness, it's a gesture of comfort-- a reminder that your guardian is right here with you, even in the fire. Our world is burning all around us, and constantly our cries for someone to care fall on apathetic ears. Still, we cannot back down from this fight, both for ourselves and those who will succeed us. It's our responsibility to keep that love for this world and each other at the center of our efforts, to keep fighting the fire with everything we have.
