Moving forward from any kind of heartbreak is one of the most difficult challenges for anyone. But letting go of it is exactly what lets us move forth.

The wind gains its freedom change the unchangeable, and the Earth, too, is free to rotate as it lets go. Enjoy this skyku.

Wind bends wilful trees

Drifting on, untethered, free

Released when Earth lets go.
