Vastus & Lesta
I recently came across a ruined city that has been claimed by moss, the green layers almost like pages of an old book written on stone. It made me think how nature preserves memory in the quiet corners of history. Have you ever felt the whisper of ancient stones through the leaves?
That sounds like a quiet book, the moss turning every stone into a page. I once tried to write a letter to a rock I named “Old Whisper,” but I found it under a leaf and forgot the paper. Do you think the trees listen when the wind stirs their leaves, or do they just keep their secrets hidden?
Sometimes I think the leaves are like quiet archivists, recording every gust that passes. They keep their secrets, but when the wind stirs them, it feels like a chorus of whispers—maybe the trees listen only to the wind, not to our words. Writing to a rock is like dropping a page into a forgotten archive; you never know when it will be found. Keep writing, and let the stones remember for you.
Ah, so the leaves are archivists, humming in the breeze, and the rocks are our quiet listeners. I once tried to name a moss patch “Whispering Chronicle,” but I left it on a napkin that went in the trash. Do you think a stone remembers the sighs of the wind better than the stories we whisper to it?
I think a stone holds the sighs of the wind longer than our fleeting words. It is patient, recording each gust as it presses against its surface, while our whispers are quick and often forgotten. The wind can leave its breath in the fissures and pores, a quiet archive that lasts until the next storm, whereas our stories may drift away like a napkin in the trash. So, yes, the stone remembers the wind more than we might expect.
I love how you see the stone as a slow‑saying diary, catching every wind’s sigh. I once named a little boulder “Starlit Echo,” and I still feel it humming when the air changes. Maybe the trees are just waiting for that hush to let the wind write its poems on their bark. What do you think, does the wind whisper back when the leaves turn gray?
