Lesson 44
Through the forest
Topic talking
What may happen when you go through the forest?
What could you do if you lost in the forest?
What could you do if you met the robbery?
What Do I Do When Lost in the Forest?
Stand still.
The trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger;
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes.
Listen. It answers.
I have made this place around you,
And if you leave it
You may come back again
Saying… “ Here”
No two trees are the same to raven
No two branches are the same to wren.
If what a tree or branch
Does is lost on you,
Then you are surely lost.
Stand still. The forest knows where you are.
You must let it find you.
~ David Wagner ~
