Renee,this is a beautiful, beautiful essay, that I would re-visit again for sure. I was so engrossed in it, while reading and was transported by the words you've conjured. Thank you so much for sending this piece to us. Wish you a great day/night ahead, stay safe and take care.

Ohh, and also your photos of the equally beautiful wild flowers. So rich colours!

And, waiting to read more gorgeous pieces from you in the coming days.
