Sentinels Of The Morning, Valparai

I look at these tiny blades that grow on the ruins of a ledge, holding up the dew at daybreak as if to herald in the morning. They seem oblivious to their own beauty, to their ability to capture and hold light, as they host these drops much larger than themselves. And quietly as the dew falls off they stand tall once again, till the next morning.
