    Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #108: Sanctuary

    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

      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.

      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! 🙂
