At first, I thought I’d lost my own body, felt it slip with the wind. It was as if I had become untethered, adrift in the currents of uncertainty. But then, I began to practice the faith of bare trees, standing tall and unyielding in the face of adversity. I learned to embrace the stillness of winter, to find solace in the quiet solitude of an empty cathedral.

I began to see the nights as dreams, each one a canvas painted in different shades of green, a symphony of hues that danced in the moonlight. I found beauty in the darkness, in the way it enveloped me like a comforting shroud, whispering secrets that only the night could reveal.

I learned to listen to the whispers of the wind, to feel the earth beneath my feet, and to find peace in the simplicity of nature. In the silence, I found my voice, a quiet melody that echoed through the empty spaces, filling them with the promise of renewal.

And as I stood amidst the barren trees, I realized that I had not lost myself, but had instead found a new way to exist. I had embraced the stillness, the solitude, and the beauty of the unknown. I had learned to bloom in the midst of winter, to find strength in the quiet moments, and to see the world through the eyes of a dreamer.
