3/5/13

Did some romping around. Found Leo and bunny Su-mi in the poppy patch. Rested with them for a long time. Head to the ruins and wandered around. Found Osiris and a few others nearby. Danced, spelled and had a great time. Walked around with Osiris and gave him lots of nuzzles. I quite like this little one. Very polite and sweet, I hope to see him around more. Lead him to the Great Oak and told him that I had to go back "home." One thing's for sure, I'll be back in the forest tomorrow.

3/2/13

It seems fitting that my first entry begins with a birth. Well I think it does anyway. Ever since a month ago or so I have heard the forest whispers that new life would come here. Nadya and Leo. I'd never really thought much about it, until around 3 days before the birth. Not sure what happened then. I even heard about the birth from Su-mi, I think she's the godmother.

Suddenly, the importance of the birth increased. I started to really think about it. About what a miracle this was. It seemed impossible that across so many generations, so many stories and pasts could meet. It was even crazier to think that so many cells could come together to make one being. It's a miracle that no one really notices. It's like.... calling the moon. A bigger miracle is that know one knows which way life will go.

I overslept by the pond and freaked out when I woke up. I was worried that the birth was over. Tore through the forest saw the poppy field and slowed to a walk. I greeted Su-mi and took awhile to find a good tree that wasn't too close or too far from Nadya and Leo. I started thinking about my life, the many twists, turns and dead ends. Thought about the many “homes.” All those closed doors, unhappy people and all the beginnings that just curled up and ended. How no one could've known that by the time I was a teen my parents would be gone, that I would never belong to any where or any one. That I'd have a past that was a lot less then happy. I prayed that the baby's life would never be like mine. That they would always have a family and that they would never walk alone.

The birth seemed to go well. Twins! Dante and Ouro. Big names to live up to that's for sure. I watched the happy family for a long while. My head spun with memories and feelings. I felt like dancing. I stood and ventured carefully forwards to where the family was. Hardly able to keep from dancing I congratulated Nadya and bowed. Hummed the song Calling the Moon to her. Hopped that she liked it. Traveled over to Su-mi, said goodbye and headed for the hills. I needed to clear my head.

After a few tries I managed to jump on the biggest rock in the playground. I sneezed off my candles and lay down. After a few minutes birds landed on them. The twins would never be alone, their family would stand strong. There was no reason to fear for their future. With a smile I fell asleep.

Prayed to the twin gods for a long time. Felt their presence and got no answers. Ran around before spotting bunny Su-mi, another bunny and two deer (Shahla and ?). Watched the deer chase the two bunnies for awhile before joining in. Laughed my silly bird laugh hard. "Bunnies! Wheeee!" Followed Su-mi to the ruin tree and sat with her. Today's a wonderful day.
