it's simple.
It doesn't come

It's the undisturbed calmness
inherent to the space
that is you.

You do take the most beautiful photos, Cloudia. That photo of Pixie reminds me of the reflections at Tokyo's Team Lab.

I thought snap meant time to snap a quick picture. You got a ton of glorious captures today. Pixie definitely looks like she has been enjoying lots of snacks interspersed with satisfying naps. Thanks for sharing all the cute fauna in your neighborhood.
