blog beginnings

a first note — on waiting, light, and learning to leave room on the page.

misty hills and open sky

Recently, life slowed enough to notice things again. Mornings on the desk, water in a glass, the way silence holds a sentence before it arrives.

This is a small beginning — a place for images and lines that do not need to belong to an issue.

Four collage sizes below — two, three, four, and five images. Each keeps original proportions with uniform spacing between neighbours.
