The Passion Set XXVIII
Vivienne and
the City of Lights-
Once upon a time, in the glamorous city of Paris, lived a stunning peacock named Vivienne. Her feathers shimmered with hues of blue, green, and burnt umber, with her body covered proudly in feathers of deep blue sea hues. Known for her beauty and her golden stilettos that glittered with every step, Vivienne was a sight to behold.
​
Vivienne was not always known by this illustrious name. As a young bird in the serene forests, she was simply called by her given name, Ara. But everything changed when she arrived in Paris. Upon being discovered by a prominent fashion designer, who marveled at her elegance and grace, she was bestowed the name Vivienne, after the iconic fashion legend. This name would come to represent her journey through the world of glitz and glamour.
​
As the sun set over the City of Lights, the Eiffel Tower sparkled in the distance, and the streets buzzed with excitement for the Grand Gala at the Opéra Garnier. The most dazzling birds in the world gathered, and Vivienne, chosen as the star of the event, gracefully walked the red carpet, spotlights illuminating her every move. Majestic red curtains swayed behind her as the crowd watched in awe under the starlit sky.
​
Though at the peak of her fame, Vivienne always remembered her roots. Amidst the flashing lights and admiring gazes, she felt a breeze of nostalgia. She recalled her younger days wandering through peaceful meadows and serene forests. One vivid memory stood out: a conversation with Orion, an elderly owl who had once told her, "Your beauty shines brightest when you believe in yourself, not when others tell you so."
Years passed, and Vivienne aged gracefully. Her feathers, though less vibrant, now radiated an inner glow. She retired from the public eye and dedicated her time to teaching young birds the importance of self-love and inner beauty.
​
One evening, under the same starlit sky, Vivienne shared a heartfelt lesson with a group of eager young birds. "Remember," she said, "true beauty comes from within. Your worth isn't defined by the applause of others but by your own belief in yourself."
​
Vivienne's story became a legend, a tale of a peacock who taught the world that self-worth is the most beautiful adornment one can wear.
The Radiance of Vivienne remained a beacon of inspiration, reminding everyone that their worth is inherent and everlasting.
