I take a picture of this tree every single morning, during meditation. So far, not one picture has captured the same exact essence. Magic in nature abounds.

a hush between light and shadow,
where longing speaks,
truth hides,
and love learns to glow in the dark.
Great writes by all of you #vss365 writers. I think we did more than 300 poems yesterday on all platforms combined.
Thanks for a colourful Sunday
