The Tree That Whispers – A Forgotten Corner of Belie

  The Tree That Whispers – A Forgotten Corner of Belief...  Somewhere deep in the hills of Matale, there’s a single tree that villagers still call “the whispering tree.” It stands alone, near an unused paddy field — its roots tangled in old stone. They say no matter how quiet the wind is, this tree moves. Not like a breeze, but like it’s breathing. No nameplate. No temple nearby. No historical records. But the belief? Still alive.

Some places feel sacred — not because of religion, but because they ask to be remembered quietly. In the stillness, I found something I didn’t know I had lost: the ability to feel without explanation. Maybe one day, I’ll go back. Or maybe it’s enough to know it’s still there, waiting in the moonlight — unchanged, unnamed, and unforgettable. 🖤🌙 This place doesn’t need a na...
