Man of the forest and
Creature of the stream.
You remind me of a deer running through the woods.
You find a path recognizable only by the animals of the forest
And eat the berries I might have thought was poison.
This is Torrey. Last week he contacted me about a place deep in the woods that he wanted to take me too. Then he added "P.S. I promise not to off you." Well he didn't off me and it was the best representation I have experienced of hope and peace in one place at one time. Wondering through the woods knowing only that at some point we would reach a stream I flew with it and enjoyed the peace that nature had to give me along the way. When we arrived I dropped my bag and felt as if I could dance on the logs and jump through the stream. After I explored for awhile I lay down on a log looking up at the sky, feeling the wind brush against my palms and hearing the grace of the water as it danced on the rocks. I remember thinking to myself that the only element missing was fire. As I breathe in the air and bound forward in my thoughts my mind begins to slow and silence it's self. All I hear are the elements and Torrey's deep hum of melody farther up the stream. Torrey explained the stream as a place where hate could not be felt. "It took all anger and hate out of me, and i thought mabey the world had a chance, if everyone could have moments like these." After going there myself I understand these sentiments completely. Where is your place where hate can not be felt? Where do you go to feel at peace or feel the inspiration that is within?
