Good morning!

It’s Monday. I went for a walk yesterday and was rather surprised to find the mosses gathered by the stream to celebrate Respitopia’s fifth birthday. They’d just dipped their crystal cups in the bubbling punchbowl and were preparing a toast when I came by.

They asked me to send you their kindest regards, and to let you know how much they appreciate our visits to the forest. I promised we’d return often.

“The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.”

― Goethe

Onwards we go,

Clara
