JOURNAL
Between rain-soaked earth and open sky, between the hush of leaves and the pull of the tide, there is a rhythm - slow, patient, alive.
In my journal, I gather these threads:
moments of art and reflection, of hands in motion, of questions without answers.
Not to shape perfection, but to wander, to trace the lines where nature and being meet, and to leave small offerings - for anyone longing to remember what it feels like to simply be.
