The Awakening: All that Lives was Born to Die

Summary

This book explores the timeless cycle of transformation, urging readers to look beyond surface appearances and face the hidden parts of themselves. It challenges us to rethink what truly lasts after life’s inevitable changes—suggesting that our impact is measured not by how long we burn, but by how deeply we are remembered.

Through reflective storytelling, it guides you on an inner journey of awakening, where death and fading are not endings, but gateways to becoming more than what we seem. It’s a powerful reminder that life’s meaning lies in connection, depth the legacy of feeling we leave behind.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My name is Stephen Mott Daniels, Sr. aka Esteban. I am a 74-year-old veteran who has been an artist for the past 70 years. I recently realized that I have accumulated over 5000 images of my art and want to share my visions with the world. Although the overall theme represents Halloween, I believe my illustrations represent something more. Who we are when we take our masks off?

My vision is to open our minds up to what is inevitable. I want to diversify my brand as much as possible. Posters, apparel, cups books are some of the possibilities. I have attached a sample of my work, hoping that you can share in my vision.

I realize this is a long shot. One never knows unless one tries.
