“It reminds me of being in a church mumma,” she says. She is right. This is my trinity: blue sky, bright sun, quiet forest. Sunlight streams through the branches and illuminates the ordinary, making it sparkle and shine. The world is blissfully white and silent here. The trees reach for the sky in anticipation of a holy embrace.
The city isn’t far away yet everything is unbelievably still. The woods – and most everything in them – are asleep. I take a deep breath of fresh cold air, happy to be enjoying this day with the people I love most.
