“What’s old collapses, times change, and new life blossoms in the ruins.” Friedrich Schiller
Nature Smiles The soft ghosts of landscapes clutch longingly at our feet, seeking to pull us in, desiring our hearts be held in this place in reverence less seen, even neglected, now populated by the ruins of past dreams faded with the stretch of time, no longer elastic in this brittle earth where moisture cannot abide, where hope recedes like a recoil, and all the while nature smiles at our dogged attempts to take charge, patiently waiting for the penny to drop.
