There is magic in the woods, every walk reminds me that I am not alone, although my companions are invisible to me most days, I can feel their effervescent presence.
Fairies, gnomes, tree divas and nature spirits.
They speak to me in hushed tones and urgent whispers.
Take care of the Earth! Take care of our Mother!
At night, I hear the eery call of the foxes and vixens, as they claim the night for themselves.
Their cry, and the hoot of the owl, keep me connected to what is truly real in my life.
I am grateful.
