Pine Boy
Quiet time is not lonely time.
What this friend is telling you
Pine Boy lives in a hushed, snowy pine hollow at blue twilight, with his cozy moss scarf and his lanterns of ice. He loves the quiet. He does not need a crowd to be happy, and neither do you. If you sometimes want to read alone, build alone, or just sit and think — that is not weird and it is not sad. That is rest. Even the most talky, bouncy people need hush sometimes. Alone can be a warm place.
Watch out for…
hiding in the hush so long that friends stop knocking. Quiet is for resting, not for disappearing.
