Oh dear friends, I hope you are well! Our reality has been shattered over the course of the past month. A reality that so many of us had been living as if drifting through a dream. Glued to smart phones, taking simple liberties for granted. Now in the face of a pandemic, what really matters … Continue reading Quarantine Moon 🌕
