She says in the voiceover: “Even in the coldest, darkest season, winter has a way of bringing us stillness, patience, and quiet consideration.
“Where the stream slows just enough for us to see our own reflection. To discover the deepest parts of ourselves.
“Alongside the whispers in the pulse of every living thing, I find myself reflecting on how deeply grateful I am. For the rivers within us flow with ease, fears washed away, cleanse and purify.
The Mother Nature series has been a deeply personal, creative reflection on how nature has helped me heal.
“Come to peace with our tears and discover what it means to be alive. To be at one with nature; a quiet teacher and a soft voice that guides. In memory. Helping us to heal.”
In the post’s caption, Princess Catherine said nature has helped her heal following her cancer journey.
