The Glass Greenhouse

A refuge in the breathing of the leaves

The door barely creaks, and behind you the world fades into the mist on the glass. Inside there is a gentle warmth, the smell of wet earth and a place to stop until your breathing grows quiet.

You write of yourself, without masks, under the silent gaze of the ferns.
