Dark branches pull the eye first, but pale winter sky waits in the narrow shapes between them. Attention returns gently to those changing gaps, then widens to the quiet between sounds and passing thoughts. A subtle mindfulness practice in figure and ground, finding steadiness in the spaces that usually go unseen.

Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line — present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
Sky Between the Branches is a guided audio session from Salūs — part of the mindfulness collection, narrated by Marco Vella.
