The Tiny Bridges


Kleo was overwhelmed. A promotion at work along with her duties in the organisations she was involved in, filled her head with thoughts. The workload and the pressure were all adding up to her feeling tired and exhausted every single day.

Until she decided to turn-off her phone, get in the car and escape in a road trip somewhere far away from everything and everyone.

And there she was... Thinking about how everything seemed to be too much... her head full of thoughts... and realizing how small all these where now, that she was standing in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by tall trees, wild plants, butterflies flying all around and the only think she could hear were the birds singing.

No-one was around, she was all alone and the water was flowing next to your feet.
And after all this madness in her head, she could finally escape and silence her loud mind.

In nature.

'I was standing in the middle of the nowhere, next to a Venetian bridge, listening to the water flowing and the birds singing' - she said while creating more images in my mind with her description.
'Walking along the river, looking at the tall trees hiding the sun's raises, they were creating pathways while occasionally blocking them with their branches. At the same time, I was looking at how the strong winds made some trees fall, creating small bridges for us to get from one point to another, or create a wooden seat for us paserby to seat on.'

'This is why I love nature' - she added.

'Because if you are careful to look and listen, you will discover all the magic that is surrounding you'
