Description
One of the best gifts we gave our girls was for them to grow up in a house in the woods. Just by walking out the door they could be in a wild space. They knew entering the woods, birds would announce their presence and an alarm would fan out like ripples in a pond. And, if taking time to be still and silent, life would return, and one might be rewarded with seeing various critters doing what they do, now unaware of being observed.
