eternal forest

Dedicated to QuadRaptor.
In this forest, I walk with the gods
They know every part of me that I do not
And I know them
in the green of the grass, they stroke my cheek
in the sunlight, I feel the heat of their breast
in the cool waters they take my weight from me
in the flowers they bathe my eyes
in the shadows of the trees they cradle me
in each stone they hide for me a message
in the mouth of each bird they write for me a love song.
So peaceful... I'm so in love
I love every detail and every brush stroke.

Incredible, as always. Ah, I
Ah, I feel bad for constantly missing your livestream ;^; I would love seeing work like this unfold...
... That writing made it al
Beautiful light
This is how Yorres feels...
Thank you all so much... I
I told him I couldn't pray for QuadRaptor's loss but that was selfish. So this is a prayer for him and his family.
Ginger, all of my livestreamed videos are available on demand at my livestream page. So you can't interact, but if you just want something running in the background for a few hours you can watch them any time.
I should be getting my new tablet in the next few days and then I can draw again. My current tablet still works but I have to hold it in such a way that my hand cramps and it is little by little shorting out more and more, so it's difficult to draw for a long stretch. Maybe then we will get a chance to meet each other there.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

I watched you make this
And the poem in addition is lovely and fitting, it makes me feel like the Forest is my home away from home and is there to shelter all of us when we need it.
I cannot thank you enough, but I see this more as a gift to the entire Forest than just me.
There are things I want to
In a way I think the forest is its own gift to you. I know it is not a real place per se. It is just an idea that we all share. But I hope that when you think of those you have lost, maybe you picture them in the forest, a place with no time and no pain, where the gods are real and close at hand and their presence is felt in every thing and they are wrapped in love. And then perhaps you too can find yourself in the forest, so near to them.
I reject religion so it is difficult for me to use the concept of a god or "after life". But I think that we are not so separated from our loved ones who have died. There are places in our minds, in our ideas, where we come together with them.
I know I didn't use any symbols specific to you. But this exists because it is what I wanted to show you, because of what you have been through.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Yeah I apologize about that,
I try to respect everyone's beliefs anyway. I'm catholic but I am very openminded when it comes to others and their beliefs. I would never press my religion on others and if I came off that way then I apologize.
This came out so beautifully though, and I feel so honored that you took so much time to make it. I always feel ashamed whenever someone gives me something that they put a lot of time and effort into and I don't have much of anything to give in return.
It wasn't thoughtless to ask
Don't worry about giving me anything. You receiving my sentiment is all I wanted. I hope you begin to think that bad things happen to good people, but good things happen to good people, too.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.
