The Forest

An ode to forests all over the world — I love you

There is something fascinating about you.

Between the trees I see life breathing out the vital oxygen, nourishing the lucky ones around you during day time.

Your endless paths lead to unknown destinations, they form an aura of serenity and harmony all along the way.

As green is your lively dominant colour, so is brown the roots that holds the rest of your body well rooted.

The sky is blue, and I can see the sun shining and spreading its lights on the leaves of your giant trees.

It smells earthy, intense and dense.

In your presence, time seems to stop and everything is elevated to new perspectives.

You inspire, protect and nourish me. I am forever grateful for your being.

You’ve sure gotten my unconditional love.

Thank you for your time dear reader. Until next time take good care of you. Remember no one on their deathbeds ever wished they had worked more during their temporal time on earth. There is more to life than your occupation/job/career. Breathe from the belly, take it easy and chill (note to my workaholic self ^^)…
