This was such a calming, grounding read. I love how you connect creativity to the tiny, almost-missed moments, sparrows in silhouette, a single leaf, the contradiction of man and nature moving in opposite rhythms. It’s a reminder that the world is always offering us stories if we slow down enough to notice. Thank you for sharing this.

So glad you feel that way, Lanesha!

My goodness Sheri, 100 photos of a drop of water? You are a study in patience and persistence! I love how your pictures led to additional captures and ideas you didn't even realize were part of the equation at first.

I take pictures of all kinds of nature in my local Chicagoland world and as I travel. It inspires my writing and creativity just like it does yours.

Thanks! I put up one this afternoon I think you’d like. Feel free to stop by since you can’t depend on Substack pushing it to you :)
