Index of Forest

The Trees: as a sentinel, watching from above;
as a time capsule, holding the past and the future;
Home.
The Animals: as a string holding humans and nature together;
as a pair of eyes, watching from every angle;
as a way to communicate with Mother Nature;
The Water: as a doorway to forgotten memories;
as a nomad, creating its own path;
as a free-flowing spirit, with a life without guidelines;
The Earth: as a gentle breeze after a deadly storm;
as a speck of light in a time of darkness;
as a reassuring, warm hug when you hit rock bottom.
The Sky: as everything but at the same time nothing;
as an endless void of opportunity;
as a cornflower-blue shield, protecting everything
from the swallowing blackness beyond.
