Breathe. A poem about getting back to your true self.

We are subject to so many expectations and restrictions in life and it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between who we are at our heart and who we become to please others. And when it comes to the latter, it can sometimes feel like we'll never win; we are either never enough or we are too much. This poem reminds us to find our forest - whether it's a physical place, a person or a state of mind. The forest accepts us just as we are. No expectations. No restrictions. We can simply breathe.
From the book Talking to the Wild www.amazon.com...

This is so uplifting and encouraging. Wouldn't it be nice if we accepted each other just as we are. Then we could collectively pause, take a deep breath anf just be. I love the forest and all the subtle sounds of nature. So lovely to behold.
