this movie was way too heavy for its intended age group
it’s actually really perfect for all ages because when kids learn this stuff early in life it stays with them
#the idea that depth of story belongs solely to adults is terrible and damaging sorry
the forestImagine the forest
Imagine each leaf as it grows
bolder each day, growing from
a meager bud to rounded shoot.
The leaf is not beautiful. We know
it. It’s short. stubby. Paled sickly
green and yet nature is beautiful.
Never critisised.Imagine the forest
Imagine each branch in the night,
they’re gnarled claws without the
sweet magic of the sunlight kissing
cracked bark; no pearly moon could
drain away the sinister spark of each
hooked finger but every tree is beautiful.
every tree is loved by all who touch it,
like a glorious statue.Imagine the forest
Imagine the roots that coil beneath
layers of it’s own rot , sinking deep
within the darkness and only to
flourish with such colour.
without the hardship of the frozen
bitten earth is it truly impossible to
grow with such grace?Image the forest.
We eat at it’s siblings but still
the forest blossoms with gifts
for us, natural delights that we
chose to abuse- harvesting flavour
not fruit. These lonely figures so
full of life, and full of families-
they stand beneath the stars like
pillars holding up our sky.Image the forest.
Isn’t she wonderful?
