The mystical private forrest

The enchanted woods

Deep in the woods, long ago and far away in a distant land, a forest existed. It was alive, and those who walked through it could detect the consciousness and wisdom breathing life into the area. Each blade of grass, every leaf, and the branched and towering trees possessed a spark of life so strong you could feel it.

This sentient forest has existed since time began, and some wonder if it may have been the location of the Garden of Eden. Roots delved deep into the rich soil of the earth, with a canopy that reached toward the heavens as if worshipping the Creator. Those who dared walk through this magnificent location said they felt their bodies and minds getting stronger.

It was as if life oozed from the ground to the leaves of the vast, imposing trees, and some said fairies danced in the moonlight after bathing in the crystal waters of the nearby lake. Within this enchanted realm, there dwelled magical creatures. Birds that flitted amongst the branches, their songs sounding almost human.

Deer and rabbits were much larger than usual and roamed freely, elusive spirits unseen by mortal eyes dancing in the light of the stars. The forest was both welcoming and illusive, and humans entered at their own risk.

Not everyone gained access

The sentient forest did not allow everyone within its grasp. For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, many who tried to gain access were denied. They came upon briars, thorns, and weeds and went away, spreading the story that the forest was a myth. Others found the weeds opened up, and a path was before them. They were able to drink in the beauty and enjoy the mystical atmosphere, returning to civilization rejuvenated.

A select few who were intuitive, prophetic, psychic, etc., could glimpse the fairies as they danced at midnight and see the fairy dust sprayed across the crystal sea. One young girl, Jasmine, was so in tune with the magical world that she claimed to have been born on the faires' wings rising to the stars and moon.

The best-laid plans of men

No one believed her, but one day, she disappeared, and everyone believed she had been abducted. Years later, two teens who gained access to the forrest claim they saw the spirit of a little girl dancing in the woods at midnight as the animals pranced and the fairies flitted to and fro; they said the trees swayed as the child's spirit came near as if they were bowing to their queen. Grass would seem greener, and flowers would spring up out of nowhere.

No one believed the teens and accused them of being on drugs. Those who could not access the forest thought it was all a fairy tale. With each passing generation, one or two individuals shared their stories of gaining entry into the conscious woods. They all spoke of the fairies and how nature seemed to come alive. They also spoke of seeing the spirit girl dancing and prancing through the woods with the animals, oblivious that she was being watched.

Only a memory

.One day, construction workers attempted to plow through the bushes to clear the land where the enchanted forest resided. A billionaire had purchased the adjoining land and wanted to avoid any woods on his property. The trucks stalled as they attempted to get through the thicket, but the owner ignored their warnings that something supernatural was at work.

With an ax in hand, he forced hsi way through the blockade, shouting and cursing that nothing would stop him. The weeds closed in on top of him in front of his startled workers, and he was never seen again. Today no one dares venture past the thicket and everyone leaves the enchanted forest in peace.
