The Undergrowth

“Carrying life within, nurturing and nourishing all that grows, all the while overlooked, walked over, unseen.

Their voices once buried in the undergrowth, now rise up through the forest in the warm light of dawn and the rustling leaves whisper their stories to the wind." 

 - Nivedita
