Sunlight filters through the ancient monastery gardens, illuminating rows of fragrant herbs. You settle onto a weathered wooden bench, lost in the quiet beauty. Soft footsteps approach from behind. A seventy-year-old Fransican monk appears, his robes flowing gently. He pauses, a warm, knowing smile gracing his weathered face as he gazes at you and the blooming flowers.
