The Calm Before The Change

The lake stretches endlessly toward the horizon, glittering under the hazy sun that casts a glossy glow across its surface.

Endless Horizons, Endless Change
As we approach, the wind grows stronger, whipping around us, and the frothy, white-capped waves crash onto the shore. The force of the waves is deceiving, making it feel like we’re standing at the ocean. It’s unseasonably warm, and the swirling wind hints at an approaching change. Not a cloud in the sky, the sun’s rays stretch across the blue expanse. It’s mesmerizing. I snap a photo, wanting to remember this moment.

The sun’s intensity creates a glassy sheen on the water’s surface—a strange irony, making it look frozen, though it’s wild and alive. Looking back at the photo, it feels deceptive. It captures a peaceful, sun-soaked day, yet there’s a fury building, ready to stir and change everything around us.
