"The woods are large, but you are small. The woods are quiet, but you are loud.”

Clarissa Pinkola Estés 
(Women Who Run with the Wolves)

"The forest is a place of darkness and danger, but it is also the place of transformation and rebirth. To enter the forest is to encounter the shadow, the unconscious, and the unknown."
Carl Jung

"Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
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."

‘Lost’ by David Wagoner
