The Forest of Your Creation

 

^{The Forest of Your Creation}

^{Surprised? You never knew}

^{you created a forest}

^{as you wandered through}

^{the corridors of your school}

^{or office?}

^{Cast your mind back}

^{to the days of high school}

^{in classrooms of thirty others}

^{sitting at their desk}

^{you—lost in thought}

^{asking yourself what it means}

^{determined to learn the lesson}

^{of the Western Red Cedar} 

^{the Lodgepole Pine} 

^{memorizing the facts}

^{you’ve given up the good girl}

^{you just want to survive}

^{… no that’s not all}

^{you want to belong}

^{to be present and safe.}

^{which is why you created}

^{your own forest}

^{rooted in soft soil}

^{with strong healthy branches}

^{to help you sleep at night}

^{you’ve given up on control}

^{you’ve lost your short term}

^{memory, your balance}

^{you see status as flimsy}

^{fantasy, ego}

^{which you don’t like in others}

^{so why hold onto it}

^{guard it now AI is the Head Master}

^{and the Queen}

^{where is your Mother?}

^{where is the Parting Glass?}
