Humans eating the lights causes imbalance in the forest. Both dark and light exist together in an endless dance of negative and positive. Positive builds community and negative well it eats and ravages. As the deer know one can never get rid of all the shadows. They teach lessons. The goal becomes to minimize it. Shadows nibbling remains tolerable but all out feasting ruins the balance. Sustainability helps things flow. Wandering around following light orbs or lit up deer makes one prance about and wriggle. Sometimes lying the shadows, walking among the gravestones, necking with the black buzzy bees near the ruins lets impish part play a bit without fully feasting on the spirit energy. Vampire deer hmmmm feast but eventually balance restores as some beauty comes in through a creative effort and though an individual deer has its light dimmed the community moves forward as always. REsurrection always possible with a dance or two or generous glow light poofed at you or sometimes a swim in the pond does it. Being reborn and fawning again gives new experiences refreshed again.
