Loved this piece. My favorite quote was the Khalil Gibram one, but I also really liked the Apollonius of Tyana’s quote as well.
These illustrations are incredible! Beautiful work 🥳
I love the quotes too. The Gibran one especially will stay with me.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog ☺️
Thank you, Peach. May Gibran’s trees whisper your secrets. 🙂
