I often journey into the forest to collect my thoughts and find inspiration in nature. I walk in by myself although I’m never alone. The forest is very alive and full of natural mystery. If you take the time to let her speak to you, she may just show you some of her secrets. The canopy blots out the vibrant sun, leaving only holes of light poking through the leaves. The animals who live here play and chase each other across the leaf-ridden forest floor while others scavenge for food to the tune of the howling wind. The babbling creek will tell its stories to any ear willing to listen. I always find it funny that when I come out here, it’s to take a break from my regular life and enjoy the peace and solitude of nature, but when I’m here, I often forget just how alive it can be.
