Entering the forest requires a different way of being. One's presence needs 'toning down', for you are not alone and your presence perceived. We are not unwelcome in the forest, however there is a better way of moving and being. Sound is felt, pace absorbed, activity registered and at times resisted. It is good to sit, to let your thoughts meander as a river would pass through. Time is measured but not by any clock. Gifts are given freely but not thoughtlessly.
