A friend who lives in the UK posted this verse, this morning on Facebook. It is translated from a 2000 year old Portuguese poem. I feel this way about my forest; about all forests actually.
I risk the repeating your all having seen this before, because I believe we must do our best to live a life of nonmaleficience, not just in the woods.

I did not see this before and I am grateful I saw it now. ty.
