I woke up today inside my secret hiding place from the forest.
This log is small but big enough for me! but it's by the water and my fur gets cold and soggy when the pond leaks into the log.. . But But! I hid from the forest! It couldn't see me through the log so it couldn't eat me.

I ran into the first deer I met here! A friend who I danced around with! We found a mushroom ring and I could feel a special life feeling inside of it. I dug up some of the mushrooms and ate them but I went unchanged, my friend sat in the center and called me over to sit.

The ring's life was given to each of us, making our symbols grow brighter. I became a small creature with this life- this energy, I was so small! too Small! My friend was as big as the trees like this!

I was scared they might step on me but they were very careful with their steps. I chased them because I was angry! I tried to jump at their legs but I couldn't catch them, and then I stumbled back into my own fur and form.

My energy only changed their pelt into a brown.

My friend can fly! They jumped from the tall rocks and ran through the air sitting on the wind!
I could not catch them no matter how high I jumped! They came down but I could not go up! Sometimes I felt the wind be solid under my hooves but then drift away and send me to the ground.

I think I could fly too... if I learned how. I won't give up!
Someday I'll fly just like them! We did other things in the forest too but I'm tired..

maybe I'll remember the other things we did when I wake up and record them here in this place. I can't see this place but I can feel it with my thoughts, there are others here. Is this how everyone connects? I can't understand most of the voices but I think I know a few of the feelings that are sent through. How strange that this place is always with me but at the same time isn't anywhere...

As I get tired I understand this place better but when I'm awake I can't even remember it... so strange... I'm back in my log now. safe. and now, I sleep.
