Sanctuary
a place of refuge
comfort
being held
safety
awe and presence
grounded
uplifted
peaceful and serene
sacred
To stand
with
to touch, lean into, embrace
whisper a prayer
an invocation
to the redwoods

Thank you for your beautiful contribution to the challenge dear Arati, both in image and in words. What a treat to see these magnificent trees and I especially love the third capture with the golden heart between the crowns. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂

I will never forget the incredible sense of peace I was surrounded by during a visit to the giant redwoods of California Arati. Thank you for the beautiful reminder.
