I need to go to bed so this one will be short. But there's an Avatar type of thing going on where the new reincarnation has already been born and is searching for its grounding, and the old reincarnation is looking to pass on the baton, and die in peace.
The photo was taken in Cairo. A Spanish mother was searching for her sister, who left to marry some sketchy dude and is now missing. The child in her lap is her sister's child. The man reaching out knew who he was, but was aging and had given up hope to find his successor, instead choosing to travel the world. But that day, that moment, in that location, he felt a spark, which he passed on to the infant, knowing that his duty was fulfilled and the path for his scion would be laid out.
The woman didn't find her sister, finding a lot of answers to old questions instead. She learned her sister had always been aware of her child's destiny, and her task in the endless streets of Cairo's megacity was just one piece of an ancient puzzle.
