Literally. Today I had my own exploration in a forest Veronica showed me at a park. I was trespassing, sure but I was feeding my human sense to explore, to discovery, my sense of childish curiosity that I've kept for so long and cherished so deeply. Anyways, back on track, it was almost personal, eye opening in a way that is metaphorical to me in my way. Where my friends stopped and went to play on modern playground equipment I continued on my own, fearless, curious, and daringly. I found loads of spots that I enjoyed, one being a sort of dragonfly haven where multiple dragonflies gathered to rest on leaves. I disturbed the area when passing through and found that it was almost like that scene from Peter Pan when the fairies were dancing. I also encountered a snake on my way, but the strange part was that he stopped for me. It was like he was waiting for my to cross so he could continue on his way, and it stunned me, maybe he was stunned too, however as soon as I came to my senses half a second later I bolted back a few yards and waited to pursue the trail. I met him multiple times, each time I let him continue just as he let me. When I came to the "end", or intersection of all the trails it ended at the crossing of all the water trails, the lakes, or rivers or whatever they call those man-made sewers. There was a turtle there, motionless but not dead. He acknowledged me and I him as I simply stared out at the view. The sound of cars was something I had to block out to enjoy it, but I couldn't. I took what I could in and left to return to my friends. Explaining the sensation of exploring that forest was like explaining why a man likes to dance, it's hard and sounds stupid all together.
Metaphorically, it told me how I might deal with life, always striving through past what scares me, taking a step back, but continuing to realize the golden end.
Goodbye.
