I spent all my free May evenings this year in one woodland and what I've spotted and learned was so interesting, encouraging, healing and wonderful. My journal entry:

When morning mists disperse a little faster and bluebells wave in the forest breeze, I find a spot to slumber in pre-dawn quiet under the oak, waiting, watching, listening. Birds tell me all when I’m still; the season, the sunshine, the deer traipsing across the dell. She moves her head in circular motion before putting one tender hoof in front of the other, nibbling at a sapling’s first shoots.
A woodpecker male tells its mate he’s near with grub so she may leave the nest for a while and robin hops above garlic plants of snowy white, their fragrance sweetly spicing the air. Blue-tits have a tutting dispute high above me in the sycamore and a thrush drops down to peck at soil. Birdsong rises out of stillness, the pure sounds of a forest morning when bloom by blossom, nature starts to unfurl as the rays of sun light up the lustrous palette to paint the world in wonder.

"We talk of rivers as arteries, life-giving, moving oxygen around the body and it’s no wonder that the shorelines of such an aorta of water are teeming with game. Herds of several hundred buffalo move through the woods, the dust at sunrise a coppery curtain. We met them at a clearing and felt transported into a renaissance painting.

The animals took turns drinking by the water, heads lifted now and then, ears flicked and tails chasing off flies. Incredibly quietly for such massive mammals, they moved on, swallowed by the forest, unheard despite a thousand hooves’ strong."

Excerpt from Realm of a River by Amiet, in our 28th edition.
