Nature comes to a halt. Not from fear, but from an ancient ritual.
Frost lays its delicate hand upon the branches, the earth dries and takes a breath,
the remaining leaves turn into fragile paper. Everything slows.
The forest falls silent, the wind turns to dust, time itself seems to crack like winter bark.

It is a suspended world, still and essential. A place where nothing grows, yet everything endures.
And the mind, following nature, closes into a dry silence,
where every thought finds space to settle. From this rough stillness,
from the bare pause of the earth, our collection is born.
