Time feels like it stopped flowing here…
The water is frozen, the forest is silent,
yet the story is still unfolding. 🧊🌲
Those who can see this silence, stay.
Follow for what comes next. ❄️👁️

The cool thing about the holidays that it's just as good when they're over as when they're happening. Today is World Introverts Day - seriously, you can google it - so keep your jammies on today and don't talk to anyone.

As long as space endures,
As long as living beings remain,
I will continue to drive away
The sufferings of the world.
