The Woman Who Spoke to Her Plants

12 min · Everyday kindness · Calm · Company

In a sunlit fourth-floor apartment, a quiet woman reads a stranger’s note about greeting houseplants each morning, and begins the small ritual herself. Over gentle weeks of watering, noticing, and speaking softly to her silent companions, she discovers that attention is a kind of nourishment, and that the one who gives it is fed just as surely as the one who receives.

An original Somnus story.
