The Forgotten Gateway

A refuge on the paths of the soul

A road of ancient stones leads to an archway no one remembers. Beyond the threshold you find a garden in amber light, books warm to the touch and a pool of water set in a copper ring.

The rhythm of the world stays behind; yours grows slower.
