The water gives the first instruction
We begin only when the œillet has settled into its quiet, windless surface.
What the marsh teaches us
2
Light hands keep the crystal whole
Each skim follows the surface once, leaving the clay floor and its minerals undisturbed.

The day’s fragile bloom is gathered in modest baskets before sun or rain can alter it.
4
Nothing needs to be improved
Unwashed and unforced, every grain arrives with the clean, soft note of the marsh.
