Travel Georgia

Time slows down. our bodies slow down. Our minds slow down. We hear the songs of the goldfinch, and the babbles of the river. The smell of morning rain fills our senses. Powdery soft dirt gives our feet a safe place to land. We lock eyes with a curious fawn, recognizing that we are visitors in their home. This world we step into has endless opportunity for connection with self, nature, and loved ones.
