			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Stand still. The trees ahead and the bushes beside you<br />
 Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,<br />
 And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,<br />
 Must ask permission to know it and be known.<br />
 The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,<br />
 I have made this place around you.<br />
 If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.<br />
 No two trees are the same to Raven.<br />
 No two branches are the same to Wren.<br />
 If what a tree or bush does is lost on you,<br />
 You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows<br />
 Where you are. You must let it find you.</p>
