There are two ways to get lost in the forest. One is to stray from familiar
surroundings and not know how to get back to where you feel safe.
The other is to let your subconscious purposefully connect with the
beauty and energy of the natural splendour around you. When that happens,
your mind disconnects and you are free of all that is familiar to you.
Go beyond safe and find inspiration.
What is this life if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep, or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this, if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
William Henry Davies 1871 – 1940

Thanks, Carolyn. Such a simple thing to just stand and stare, yet so elusive these days.
