Beautiful. And this – wise: 'What if that enspelled rest was not a curse but in fact an earthen intelligence?' Thank you.

This was a gorgeous read. I also love walking through orchards during winter. That stillness actually make me feel even more alive sometimes, because of the potentiality and the ripe fruit to come on the other side, in spring. Adore your work :)

That's lovely-- well said. It's quietly crackling like a banked fire. And thank you very much for the kind words.
