Stand still. The forest knows where you are. You must let it find you.

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.
