Location
Riverside Forest Glade
The Woods by the River
A dense thicket of ceiba and yarumo trees streams down from the high banks to the river’s edge, their roots knotted with exposed stones polished by floodwaters. Green light slants through the canopy, dappling the forest floor with restless silver coins, while the river’s murmur carries the scent of wet earth and crushed leaves. The space feels older than the family itself, a living archive of confessions stilled in the leaves; here Abuela Alma has knelt among the trunks, her dress damp with ground mist, listening to both the water’s reckoning and her own unspoken losses. The trees do not judge her silence; they hold it like an inheritance.
