The Mushroom Fan

As The Tide Does

The ocean offers solace – on days that seem harder to get by, the sound of waves crashing, and the visuals of a deep blue sea somehow have a calming effect on the mind.

While it seems like we have been weathering this bad storm for a long time, mushrooms have also been popping up unexpectedly after rainy days. What good luck and surprise it is, to witness the mushrooms around!

While the world plunges into chaos and indeterminacy because of the pandemic, I hope calm will tide over minds, and small pleasures like these flushes of mushrooms keep the hope going.
