Hamish, I am so glad that you enjoyed this post! I am always humbled when a person expresses such heartfelt appreciation. The forest speaks differently to me everytime I step into it’s midst. Even on the same trails. I am trying to keep my heart open enough to hear the whispers of wisdom between the Earth and it’s ancient wisdom.
