this is what i believe

   

Beth Moon, Ancient Trees: Portraits Of Time 

.

This is what I believe: That I am I.

That my soul is a dark forest.

That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.

That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.

That I must have the courage to let them come and go.


—D. H. Lawrence

.

I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he 

who is not afraid of my darkness, will find 

banks full of roses under my cypresses.

—Friedrich Nietzsche
