Foraging in forests deep with mysteries laid bare, the seeker looks with busy hands for jewels precious and rare. But in his desperation the greatest treasures held are thus forsaken for the momentary yield of some resemblance of happiness and money to be made.

In truth the forests harbour wealth beyond our means to spend in lifetimes over, and share with enemies and friends. But this wealth cannot be spent. Indeed it must be honoured and left tall, to stand for years to come for others to behold. It is not something which can be fathomed in the blink of an eye that does not see the reality of what it means to die. For death comes quickly when attentions are not focussed on one’s life, and what it means to live a healthy, purpose-filled destiny, at one with all. And though this death may be symbolic, much of life is so, and nature holds so many clues for each of us to understand and so embrace in the everyday.

So take to owning every space you visit in your travels fair, and respect that place in time, and know it is today the way you see it because of your beliefs. And only those beliefs that are put into action now are worth their weight in gold awaiting you as you go forward into the undergrowth and discover for yourself that every skerrick of living existence plays its part in your success.

Honour the living in all its forms, and live your life to the best.
