Forest Dreaming is poetic exploration of place and our relationship to landscapes when it is so easy to feel like an island, isolated within the noise of the world. Teach me to listen a little closer. Show me to sing with the beetles, waking from winter. Teach me to once again dream with the
forest.

eyes set down
lots love for a locked door
the silhouettes are the same
but the faces have changed
you know I can’t go home this way
came here to say the same
