There is a certain kind of silence at the start of a climb. Not just because the forest hasn’t spoken yet, but because we’re still learning how to listen. This trail isn’t just a path toward the summit. It is a space in-between: between the world we left behind, and the one that may or may not welcome us. Light breaks through the leaves above— like a quiet signal from nature itself, reminding us that even in thickets and fog, something is always guiding us back home— not to a place, but to ourselves. 4000 x 6000 px 300 Dpi By Samanta, 2025
