The weight of the worn wooden stool felt good beneath her. Clara surveyed the garden, the flowers a riot of color in the late afternoon sun. The gentle hum of the bees, the rustling of leaves in the breeze, the sight of the vibrant blooms - the garden was her sanctuary. Her brother's letter, announcing his shift to Rastafarianism, had been on her mind.

She reached for her clippers, ready to tend to her roses. She began trimming the deadheads, focusing on each delicate stem. The familiar motions, the scents of earth and petals, the quiet beauty of the scene – it was all she needed.

She moved onto the next bush, the work a gentle meditation.
