Clara

Clara appears when the garden is at its quietest.

While frost still clings to the ground and most flowers remain safely asleep beneath the soil, the first snowdrops begin to rise and Clara rises with them.

She moves gently through the winter garden, waking the flowers that are ready to begin again and reminding those that are not that their time will come.

Often seen with her little one close beside her, Clara understands that beginnings can feel both beautiful and uncertain. She does not promise that every new chapter will be easy. Instead, she brings something quieter: the reassurance that life can return after even the coldest season.

Where Clara walks, tiny signs of change begin to appear.

A green shoot beneath the frost.
A bud beginning to swell.
The first suggestion that spring will eventually return.

To Clara, hope is often very small at first.

But small does not mean insignificant.
