| Statement: | The forest is a breath of life in the constant and ever-continuous, bustling life of the human culture. It is rooted deeply within us, connecting with every person on a deeper, more manifest level than we can experience in the urban sprawl we now consider our home. The forest holds divine inspiration and answers that help us to unlock who we are, our destiny as a race, and to simply recharge. It fuels us, literally and metaphorically. The forest reminds us of what we once were, what we are to become, and especially of the twisting roads that we took to get there. |
