The forest speaks

There are times when clarity comes from those darkened moments.  Like a seed hiding within its concealed shell, light eventually penetrates the hardened exterior and transparency bursts open into the waiting sunlight.  We shed our old skin, and step within a new.
When the soles of your feet are all cried out from the journey that brought you here, you stop for a while, breathe, and notice that within that absence a change occurred.  We are as mirrors for one another, reflecting thoughts and safeguarding against conspiracies.
Place your hand against the body of this living entity, and feel its breath.  
Mirrors we are.  We can take so much more than we think we can take.
