Know That You Are Whole

You Are Six Word Photo Story Challenge: Freestyle

“You have been whole all along”

I’m reaching out. Fragments of my soul everywhere.

I’m trying to gather them in. Becoming whole.

I’m trying to melt together with everything outside of me. Trying to attract a tribe, locations, and tools like a magnet.

Until I pause. Until I journey within.

It is then, that I realise I have never been separated. I have been whole all along.

Franzi is a fine art land- & seascape photographer, traveller, writer and crafty girl who spends most of her time in nature capturing moments or writing about anything swirling around in her imaginative head.

Any donation allows me to spend more time writing and sharing my creations and thoughts with you. If you feel an inclination to support my work, you can do that through Ko-Fi. Thank you with all my heart ❤
