Chapter 19

It has been 6 full moons since I put my mother to rest. I burried some rose seeds
over here just like she asked and thought me, so that the Godness could bring new
life from the old, and thus continue the circle of seasons. I remember us walking
in the woods together gathering plants both for food and for healing of various
injuries and infections. Usually we would stop by and visit the little squirrel
family which had taken up shelter not to far from ours. Sometimes during the fall
we would forage some nuts and berries if we noticed that they where a little short,
so that they would have a good winter and bring forth new life when spring came about.
But it has been a while since that now, and I do not know what become of them after I left.
My mother asked me to go seek out guidence from an old friend of hers which
was supposed to live right outside a large city, at the edge of the forest. She said
that if she ever passed away before I had learned all that she could teach that I was to
find him and he would help me to seek out the spirit of the mother, just as she once
had when she was a young woman. Her final words was "It's our duty as protecters of this
forest to both aid and be guided by the mother so that our lives will not be spendt
in vain when we could both to so much to make a difference." Soon now I will reach my
destination and I'm so excited that I can not wait.
