Deep within the ancient forest are places so dark and mysterious that the human heart trembles at their contemplation. It is within these deep sanctuaries where lives the Lady of the Woods. In times past many feared her as a witch or sorceress, but neither is she. She is merely one of our own who has embraced the secrets of the deep woods and come to know and understand the mysteries that lie within their depths. If by divine planning one day you meet her, she may open her sacred book and share with you all that she has come to know. What is this sacred book you ask? Is this some book of magic? No. In fact, you yourself may very well possess a copy of this ancient manuscript. You see, all the deepest wisdoms of this world are contained within... The Bible. Nature can teach us many things, but nothing can it teach us that itself has not been taught by the Creator of all things. It is this same Creator that came to us to give himself for us that we might know him as our Father. He is not a cruel master or far away Heavenly King, but a Divine Father who loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for us (John 3:16). Of all the deep truths within the forest, this is the one she most wishes to share with you. This is the Truth that gives her Peace within the darkness and you can have it too. The above is rooted in my own belief in Jesus Christ. It is not meant to offend, only to give artistic expression from my heart. Your thoughts and feelings are welcome, even if you do not share my faith. According to my beliefs, the formost thing God granted to every living soul is the right of choice. It is not my place to even attempt to force my views on anyone else, but it is my right and duty to share the good that I have found with anyone who is willing to hear it. Comments and suggestions always welcome.
