I tried to escape from the Endless Forest today ... and discovered that it isn't so much endless as bent around on itself so that I ended up where I started.

I assume that the boundary operates as an exit and entry point. There's no clear sign of this, however.

Of course, I don't have any real proof of this at the moment because I can't make any 'mark' on this forest. So when I come to an identical place I don't really know if it is the same place or not - if you see what I mean. (I'll write a blog about the need to make a mark later).

Does this matter? I'm not entirely sure. But part of my new fawn self seems to want to run and run for ever without ending up where I started. I want to chose whether I mingle and mix with other fawns and stags or whether I wander off into the wilderness.

Perhaps I should confess at this point that I am almost Canadian. In the process of gradually becoming Canadian in sensibility I have learned of the importance of 'untamed' wilderness as a (kinda) spiritual place. Part of its spiritual value comes with the ability to escape.

Well, you might say, this is supposed to be a community. How could it function as a community and as an emerging story if everyone wandered off into the wilderness never to be seen again? And, if you said this, you would have a good point.
