The Iris
In Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow and the messenger for the gods, carrying messages between gods and mortals. Depicted as a winged young woman, she was known as "golden-winged Iris" or "swift Iris" for her ability to quickly traverse the rainbow bridge between Earth and heaven.
In reality, there are also heavenly forces that discreetly send messages to remind us of important truths we may forget. These messages might come through rare vessels—a familiar face, a stranger, a random sign, or the distant notes of a song. You, too, might be a vessel for someone else, reminding them they're not alone. And somewhere, someone is grateful you exist.
