✨ Festival Reflections

Hands move quickly and skillfully, weaving, carving, or painting. Each stroke or knot holds generations of knowledge. Watching, you realize that tradition lives not in museums, but in the people who keep creating.

β€œThe fool wanders, the wise man travels. – Thomas Fuller”

β€œDo not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. – Ralph Waldo Emerson”
