Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here . . .
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you . . .
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.
