Apricity - Bright Green

There is an ancient word that describes a gentle warmth, a warmth that does not burn, but envelops. "Apricity" is the warmth of the sun on a winter day, that pleasant luminous caress that keeps the cold away. Apricity is the return of something we had almost forgotten, the wonder of skin meeting the sun when you almost no longer expected it. It is wonder hidden in the silence of an out-of-season beach. Then something simple happens. You approach the shore and pick up a fragment of a shell, left there by a wave that has traveled through time. You are surprised to find it has remained still, intact, impatient. You pick it up, and for an instant you feel that time and the sea have stopped. In that small fragment, everything is contained: movement, the sea, time, stories already lived return to you... cherish them carefully.
