Your discussion on the woods really grasps hold of my heart. I am a Nature Child also. I love the desert, the ocean and coastline, all of nature. The woods are a special place where I feel safe and cozy.
The faery folk, Dryads and others, live in the woods.

i love thunder too,rain and tempests,the air is filled with energy and it cradles me to sleep...riding the lightening! i lived in the woods for a few months on my own and it was really something i wanted to do since a long time.its very soothing and helps you to open to yourself. the best thing is to lose yourself in them and losing all sense of where you are,that s when your nature really starts to kick in.i also felt that my spirit felt sexually alive! the most awesome thing ishow it awakens your creativity your imagination and your artistic side,and going playing with a guitar in the woods is the most awesome thing i ve ever done cause it is so inspiring and then you end up playing with them and the wind and the sounds of the forest. but there s also another song that helped me face the darkness and i love it when i was really down.it s a kind of depressing song but beautiful and necessary like a rite de passage where i d feel like completly mesmerized.it also makes you aware that the darkness or melancholy are natural things that need to be loved in yourself to proceed further. it s SOURCES TO AGONIES BY LIMBONIC ART
Through the mirror of the soul I'm staring deep within To see what dwell behind the wall The beauty of pale skin The aura that surrounds me Is not of noble kind The blackness of the heart Is all that's left to find A dark river runs silent through my life Like a floating nemesis A dark shadow of what i used to be Drift's now in lifeless misery Live only to witness what I've become Midnight is my shallow home Soon to enter the last deed of mine I'm forced to follow the streaming bloodline When the wine of life is shed And dark cosmic space consume I bring the memories back from the dead Sources to agonies, a devouring monsoon
i think there s beauty in all things even darkness and melancholy.darkness isn t always dirty.

"the darkness or melancholy are natural things that need to be loved in yourself to proceed further."
This is a very thoughtful and important thing to realize, gemineye. Very insightful.
It made me remember that years ago, when I was really depressed for a long period, one of the things that helped me was to listen to a melancholy song or read melancholy poetry. The reason it helped me is that it would make me cry -- by crying, I was able to get in touch with my own deep feelings and confront the darkness.
Many of the poetry or prose I write for another site is melancholy and people seem to really like that. It makes them cry, too, and helps them in their own way. It also helps me to pull any sadness out of me and face it, because I write it down.

Another song that touches my spirit and blows away my ego is a very old spiritual song:
Wayfaring Stranger
I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling thru this world of woe There is no darkness, toil or danger in that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan Only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me I know my way through rough and steep Yet fields of beauty lie just before me Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I go I'm only going over Jordan Only going over home
The melody to this song is very beautiful and peaceful.

I have never looked at it that way, Gemineye. That is very insightful and makes much sense to me now that you mention it. Well, now there is a new and special meaning for me in that song. Thank you.

yay,i got anther song that really speks to me phyllis,actually iwant to add that those kind of songs that really wake up the ancient blood and speak to your core,i rarely listen to them cause they have such high value,i consider then sacred.
In Perfect Harmony Lyrics Artist(Band):Within Temptation
In a world so far away At the end of a closing day A little child was born and raised Deep in the forest on a hidden place Mother never saw his face
Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony
Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
Fruit by birds, honey by bees
He found shelter under the trees He grew up in their company They became his family
Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony
Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony
A thousand seasons They passed him by So many times, have said goodbye And when the spirits called out his name To join forever, forever to stay A forest spirit he became

Oh...such a beautiful song that brings vivid images to me a a spirit so pure and loving. I have chills of the beauty of the forest traveling over me and tears of profound love flowing. Such beauty. Thank you, Gemineye.

This is what the ancient tribes of America, the First Peoples of America strived to do -- to live in harmony and balance with all Creation.
