walking through the forest is a magical thing. birds flutter back and forth across your line of vision. the scent of pine and wildflowers entrances your senses. your feet sink into the soft grass giving you a sense of peace. you touch the jigsaw puzzle bark of the incense ceder tree. you slowly glance up and a realization of how tall this tree really is overwhelms you. a squirrel, frightened by your presence, scampers up a tree. nowhere else in the world can you find a land so beautiful. so peaceful. so amazing. you can search high and low in all corners of the globe. you will never find a place like the forest. among the pines and redwoods is were we are truly at home. were we belong

I live in the northern California foothills and these emotions and feelings are all personal experience.
