This photo was taken in Burundi.

Clothes are drying on the lawn, along the edge of a forest. That’s how it goes there. Just part of the daily routine. The mist seems to float among the trees, as if in a dream. There is a contrast between liveliness and softness, like a patchwork spread over the earth. Comforting and soothing. It felt like homecoming. The missing puzzle pieces fell into place and filled my heart.
