Where this path will end is a mystery.  The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest. A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization. The light refracts in strange ways at this time. It's when the surreal becomes the real.

Is there a place you go to relax?  Is it wide-open or cozy?  What do you see, hear, smell, and feel when you are there?  Is it a place where you can be by yourself?  What about it makes you feel good?

💚 Where is the love and kindness?  It's for everyone; not just romantic relationships.  Who do you spend most of your time with?  What are they like?  If you became like them, how would you be different?  If this person is so important to you, what are you doing about it? 💚
