“I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.”
- Nietzsche ❤️
I have always wondered why we feel this connection, peace or serenity in the woods. It feels almost like home. But then it occurred to me, it was indeed our home, about 200,000 years ago. May be that's why we feel that way, a bond reinforced over and over for thousands of years.
I also realize that we are slowly killing it.
Us, humans have done so well to protect our culture, our religions and countless other constructs but we are failing to protect our home? Not cool.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But we have promises to keep,
And miles to go before we sleep,
And miles to go before we sleep!
