Quiet Soil: Part 6
A low terrace threshold led out into the open garden. I stepped past the stone border until the hard ledge gave way to damp, dark earth. Beneath the sheltering canopy of a wide fern, I paused before a shallow hollow scooped into the ground. In my hand rested a slender green stem, worn straight and smooth like a forgotten hilt. I knelt on one knee upon the mulch, resting it gently into the hollow. With deliberate care, I drew the cool soil across the furrow, smoothing it flat until the resting place was sealed. I remained kneeling in the quiet shade, letting the silence settle. #Ashokahtano #theblackseries #Ashokatano(peridea)#StarWars #ActionFigures @cataww234
