Upon forest floor

Upon forest floor, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

Here is where I see, here is where I am, here is where I feel the closest to earthen realm. Here is where my roots reach deep, where no concrete pummels my feet. Here is where I can be all I can be, free from asphalt and gasoline, from mechanical noise and artificial toys. Here is where my heart beats calmly in the forest breeze so balmy. This is where my soul belongs, this is where I listen to those songs, music of the leaves and swaying branches, far away from urban trenches. And as I walk with careful step I look below and see worlds that hidden from our eyes here grow. Thus

On my knees I sit
Watching tiny wonderlands
Upon forest floor

  • Oh how did I miss this? It’s lovely. I really like what you’ve said here and how you cap­tured this moment in time. I remem­ber the day you were on bended knee pho­tograph­ing this mush­room colony behind that bench in the for­est. And how fas­ci­nated, we both were, by the almost condo like mush­room resort before our eyes. I think we both had lit­tle sto­ries going through our imag­i­na­tions as we looked upon this mag­i­cal lit­tle place, all but a few inches high… But to the ants, these are quite amaz­ing to behold…

    I love what you’ve said here, I will book­mark this one for sure.
