LookingForTheMagicOfTheForest

i walk daily in the forest, the place where i live

i do this for health and for the appreciation 

of my amazing environment

so that i will not ever take it for granted

the health aspect is a strong energetic walk

the one for appreciation is a 

meandering cruise off the forest paths

today was such a walk

enjoying the freshness of the winter air 

and the wonderful fresh forest fragrances

i never come across any other walkers

but then today I did 

there was another walker, a forest spirit.

who, when he came across me, asked me 

if i was looking for magic mushroom

i wasn't

i was just looking, not with an expectation of anything in mind

but rather just to see what was on offer on the forest floor

which is the theme of an exhibition i am working on

however i was intruiged by his question

since i had never knowingly seen a magic mushroom

so i asked him if he could he point some out to me

which he did and here they are on top of the page

the question then arose 

"are they illegal"

because as strange as it may sound

we humans are weird

and actually declare some plants illegal

my question is: how can a plant possibly be illegal?

i shall try out the magic by making some tea of this lot 

and enjoy the spirit of the inner forest

aahhhhhhhhhhhhh

'Keep your mind in a happy place'
