In the woods

In the woods there was the quit of nature and the silence of uncivilized life. The most obvious sounds were still those

of other intelligent beings tramping through the woods, but for brief periods, the only sounds were the chirping of birds,

and the quit falling of snow. And for several moments in the very middle of the wood, there were no sounds at all

percievable to the human ear. Such silence was a new and exciting experience, with which came thoughts that were

previously unexplored. Along with the silence, came the very new and somewhat frightening sensation of time being slowed

to a halt. As if the silence would go on and on forever. Togethor, these sensations created a thought that twisted within

my skull, and created almost a mind of its own. This thought wiggled its way through experiences and hidden memories, and

brought to surface things which had been previously lost. Within these memories and experienes came many different sensations.

Anger which had not been there before. Sadness at what had not been and at what could have been, and dissapointment at the

turn my life had taken. After thinking about and considering these new thoughts and emotions in what seemed to be an almost

endless amount of time, a call went out, and i was returned the to "civilised" life i had led before. As i spoke iwht my

fiends and peers, most of what had happened and though was once again locked away into my mind, and but a small portion

remained. But what little remained was just enough to plant a seed into my mind.
