Aki Gibbons @akigibbons.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Beautiful, soul-stirring things are more precious than ever. Flowers on the table and a perennial friendship, handwritten notes and light through leaves. A well tended garden. Innocent laughter of children playing outside. Getting lost in an ancient town. And always the ocean. 060
