“You can actually draw a map of anything..
When we look down from the stars, even our world is the size of a dot.”
Çınar finds the tree in front of her window is as lonely as she is.
Çınar, who loves to travel and explore the world, is deeply saddened that the tree
has been left rooted to its place.
“But in reality, the tree wasn’t as lonely as Çınar thought, looking out the window.
It had all sorts of insect inhabitants, bird nests, and cat visitors.
This tree was truly a world unto itself.”
