9th installment in the Ecuador Series. Not every day on a journey brings a revelation, and this one was a day of simply showing up. A dragon looks out from the page, calm and watchful, framed by two thin rings like a halo. Its curved horns, soft pastel scales, and bright blue and amber eyes give it a gentle, guardian-like presence. Some days the meaning isn’t in the page. It’s in making the page at all.
