Is there a particular landscape you long for? Is it real or imagined? Why do you resonate so deeply with it? If you were a landscape or an element of landscape, what would it be? Write a short piece from the perspective of yourself as an element of landscape.” #enchanted #nature #psychotherapy #journal
