do you still remember a time before?
a time when things weren't just this or that? when the world was all new and wondrous and intriguing and made up of countless secrets waiting to be discovered?
it was a time when a tree was a mysterious forest giant who told stories of trial and adventure.
a time when a grasshopper glittered and glimmered in more colours than you could name.
a time when the squirrels chasing each other up and down the tree were two friends, testing each other's strength in a loving mock fight.
a time when the rivers sang of the flow of time, of growth and swell and gain.
a time when the grass was greener and the sky bluer and the lake deeper and the horizon further.
a time when life was a miracle and every day a gift and every breath inspiration and every heartbeat a visceral imprint of your existence.
look. that world is still here.
