one says what she thinks.

the other thinks what she says.

and both know:

life’s too short for quiet thoughts.

Sometimes music is not meant to be heard.

It exists to soften the inside, to allow femininity to emerge quietly — without explanation, without performance.

Dedicated to Lelya, goddess of love and gentle presence.

She moved with quiet determination, wrapped in a coat that said fashion flair. There was grace in her stride, resolve in her gaze—and just enough drama in the faux fur to remind the world she’s got it.

De Zachte Kracht. (Gentle Strength.) By Marjan Wouda, 1997.

"...The unicorn symbolises feminine, healing energy. I drew her from observations of a deer, a foal and a goat. Although she is an elusive creature, I emphasised her physicality with fleshy skin and trembling muscles. (The title is taken from a Dutch poem, about the strength of women.)..."

TeaQuest #3 – For the journeys carried quietly

A donkey has joined. Ears alert, gaze soft, it rests beside a cup of Labachotee—a deep, calming brew with hints of strength beneath stillness.

“Some carry more than we know. Grace isn’t always loud—it’s often simply steady.”

For those who keep going, not for glory but because there’s no other way: may today’s tea offer quiet witness.

Watercolor, pencil, and a story unspoken. TeaQuest continues—one spirit at a time.
