On the Dignity of Sincerity and the Joys of Self-Discovery
In the gentle awakening of this day, nature herself seems to encourage every soul to seek truth in feeling and harmony in expression. The air is clear but for a faint mist, soon lifted by the warmth of inner conviction; all around, gardens bloom with promise, and each step taken along the shaded avenue becomes an invitation to embrace one’s own uniqueness without vanity or artifice.
