Awakening in the Soil: Part 10

I walked back across the garden threshold into the damp morning air. Overnight rain had soaked the dark mulch. Beneath the sheltering fern canopy, the earth above the buried cylinder had parted. The small sprout had risen taller, unfurling two pale green leaves beaded with heavy droplets of rainwater. In the morning light filtering through the fronds, each drop held a clear, luminous reflection like trapped starlight. I knelt on both knees upon the wet ground and paused, letting the calm settle between us. It had taken hold. I remained steady beside the tender stalk, watching the quiet life take root. #Ashokahtano #Ashokatano(peridea) #StarWars #ActionFigures @cataww234
