I have needed this for so long, though I did not know it. Being new, I went exploring and I found this porch just tonight, good timing. I’m not ready to be noticed just yet, so I go for a walk in the forest.
I pause to take in the beauty. Watching the dark sky, the moon, smelling the rich earth, feeling the powerful trees pulsing around me, I feel safe. Listening to the murmurs from the direction of the porch, I know that I am not alone. I am grateful.
