An everyday walk can be a magical experience when you look at the trees and know there is more than what you see, when you look at the leaves and catch a glimpse of their energy, when you look at the forest floor and imagine that you can sense the consciousness of the Earth herself under your feet, when you look at the stream and hear the faintest laughter. An ordinary walk becomes transformed. For with the appreciation of all these unseen energies, you develop an appreciation for the ones that are visible to you at every level. Your appreciation and respect heal us as they heal yourself.

I am Fern. The next time you walk near a woods or natural area, keep this in mind. Use your imagination as you walk, and your appreciation and play resonate with ours.
