Chapter 11: The Bewitching Utopia

A hawk circling beneath the morning sky. Crystals scattering pink, purple, and silver light across my room. Eight green worlds reaching quietly toward the sun. Silver spiderwebs shimmering among the dandelions outside my window.

The magic has been here the entire time. Stillness simply gives me the eyes to see it.

Inspired by Chapter 11 of the Tao Te Ching, The Bewitching Utopia is a journal entry about the beauty hiding in plain sight, the enchanted world woven through our ordinary moments, and the quiet wonder that reveals itself when we slow down enough to notice.
