peace carries much turmoil beneath benches -stories left behind those who shed unseen skins to carve new identities or leave the world on a voyage to unseen spaces – they shared something with the trees and grass here -soul impressions
That line about shedding “unseen skins” is haunting there’s something beautifully quiet about the idea that peace is just turmoil on a good behavior day. The image of souls leaving impressions on trees and grass though… now I’m wondering if that’s why some parks feel more alive than others.
Earlier, I was almost locked out of my WP account because I signed out as my comments were being blackholed. I just wanted to show my appreciation. Thanks to my authenticator, I’m glad I was able to sign back in, as my account has two blog sites, one of which is important for my projects, and I would have lost access to my site, hence losing traffic and trust.

Nature carries a lot that we can’t read.
I remember a story about tribals just yelling expletives at a tree, and it dries off. They don’t cut it off.
