As I fall off the towering tree, I sway softly in the gentle breeze which is making the trees move the slightest bit.
I see the world like I never have before.
Waterfalls like teardrops splashing off a child's face and eventually running into a long rushing creek.
There are birds with their colourful feathers glistening in the small cracks of sunlight coming through the trees.
There are insects almost invisible as they play in the colossal forest.
I finally hit the moist luscious ground and it reminds me of how important life really is.
