Nemora Sacra - Sacred Forests

Many forms of life populates this watery planet where much of it still remains to be found. Trees as tall as buildings, flowers that catch the essence of beauty, animals of the strangest form that they defy belief and plants that have the ability to heal all wounds. Still much of this life remains locked up in forests that are larger than the eye can see. Sadly man is scarring the land with destruction thus life is either depleted or lost entirely only to become a fairy-tale of what could have been. These sacred forests are home to all sorts of life regardless of how small but still man decides to take what it wants forgetting the laws of life – you take without thinking and consequences will arise. Someday these sacred forests will be gone only leaving a barren landscape where beauty does not exist. But beauty is resilient for land never remains barren for long for life is ever healing the scars that man creates but sadly once a life form has gone it has no way of coming back for man has erased its being from this watery planet but still seeds are spread by the wind, water and carried by life itself to almost every part of the land that has become our home. As time passes by sacred forests sprout once more and life once again secretly evolves providing man with another chance to change its ways.

That is a hopeful ending and I appreciate that, because at some point we do have to learn to do it right, and I think we are, slowly perhaps, but surely. That I think it is inevitable, because underneath it all, man is a creation of God, and He/She created us in His/Her own image. Hi Carolyn, good to ready you and thanks for your Xmas card. Will send you one soon. Take care, my friend. Love, Caroline.
