“He knew that forest like he knew his heart. He could have walked through it without the legacy of sight. At first, his steps boldly covered great hauls and hurdles. Gladly leaving the previous scene, there was eagerness in his stepping but, then, he slowed down, more and more, to finally halt completely, planting himself on the mossy ground, right where he was. The moment his anchor dropped, his vision took off, traversing the all, until he arrived elsewhere, and it was familiar.
He remained still for many hours. Animals came and went passed him, seeing a being of nature rather than a man.
When he finally rose, he was no longer the same.”
