“I wanted to use a quill pen too, wanted to immerse myself in heather, the spiky softness of it, the violet whirl, its mossy, clean scent.” Enjoy this gorgeously atmospheric jaunt along the moors by @bsherm36.bsky.social in @lit-namjooning.bsky.social

"But today, we set aside our grievances for 90 minutes. We turn in our phones and pay attention to the woods" Love the way this piece from @bsherm36.bsky.social presses pause on the tension / negative and lets in the calm of nature
