When the Forest Began to Breathe　-In Fireflies-

Night falls quietly, and the forest awakens in a language of light.

The fireflies do not illuminate the darkness—they reveal its pulse. Each fleeting trail is a heartbeat, reminding us that nature speaks in rhythms too subtle for hurried eyes.

Standing still among them, I felt less like an observer and more like a part of the landscape itself. The boundary between body and forest slowly dissolved, leaving only silence, light, and the quiet certainty that life is shared in ways we rarely notice.

Some moments cannot be held. They can only be witnessed.
