It’s been raining for the past few days, we haven’t been into the woods, and today, when it cleared, we took a walk. The woods were especially beautiful, a rich, green canopy offering shade and the feeling of a beautiful cathedral. It was good to be back there, as we walked down the shaded path, past rows of ferns, a beam of sunlight shot through the canopy and onto the path in front of us. Fate and Red paused, and turned, as if they sensed a light upon them.

The light was beautiful, it was like a waterfall.

It was a beautiful moment, our return to the woods. They are a part of us now, we need them. I kept thinking of the trees, the biologists say they can recognize and remember people by the vibrations they make walking. I couldn’t get it out of my head.

Do the trees know us?
