1,000 miles: step 62
At last, flowers are blossoming and rays of sunshine are beginning to peek through clouds. Little boys and girls are playing. Easter is finding itself on the shelves of stores.

On still nights I can hear the wind in solitude breathing, roaming in habitual journey. It goes through cycles with murmurs and tantrums.
