Night flower {art journal + contemplation}

the other day, walking in the woods, sunshine making a short visit...

i wondered at the naked trees all around me - who in their own {miraculously created} self-knowing drop leaves to draw inward as daylight wanes...

and, as if for us, this instinctual being-of-themselves makes way for the Light that Is to share more of its warm kisses with those of us dwelling closer to the Earth, where shadows cast cold spells in cycles and seasons.

Call it ecology, or some kind of grace, or part of the ever-interconnection of Life and beyond... what a beautiful design, these dances between dark and light, day and night. 💚☀️🕊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
