One Hundred and One Day: A Walk in the Forest

The first thing I noticed was how beautiful the fall colors were. The golden hues of fire red and orange spread across the forest, creating a stunning array of vibrant colors. I thought I'd spend the next 100 days trying to see them all melt away like rainbows.

As I walked through the dense woods, I found myself lost in a world where time seemed to freeze. The trees stood high above me, their leaves glistening under the sun's golden rays. It was a strange feeling, as though being part of nature itself had become something to be ashamed of. For hours, I thought I was just standing still, staring at the beauty of the forest until finally, it started to seem like movement.

That moment gave me an unexpected sense of calm and peace. The air in my lungs was filled with the scent of pine and damp earth, and my heart felt light, even though my head was full of thoughts. I remember one evening when the sun dipped below the horizon and the trees began to bend slightly. Their branches seemed to sway with the passage of time, like a living, breathing forest.

The next morning, I wasn't entirely satisfied by myself. The fall colors were there, but I couldn't see them anymore—just the faint sounds of rustling leaves and the distant chirping of birds. I decided it was time for some rest before I felt ready to return home.

On my way back to the village, I encountered a man named Old Michael. He was known for his deep, resonant calls that created a peaceful environment around him. After spending hours alone, he began to offer advice, and soon we were both surrounded by an abundance of fresh leaves.

As I walked with him under the shade of old oak trees, I felt myself drift closer to being myself again. But even as I felt myself grow more confident, I couldn't help but feel a little lost. Was this what I was supposed to be doing? Or was there something about seeing the forest that made me feel more like an outsider?

Over time, I realized that my feelings for Old Michael were deeper than I ever imagined. We became close friends not just for the natural beauty of the forest, but also for the simple joy of connecting with nature itself. His advice became a guiding light in times when I felt lost and alone. And as we spent more time together outside the village, I began to see new perspectives that had shaped my life ever since.

One day, while walking through a quiet neighborhood, I came across an old tree that was growing at a standstill. It seemed almost too still to be there. I decided to visit it in person and learn about its history. The bark was smooth, the roots thick, and the leaves golden and fragrant. As I stepped onto the tree, the sun dipped lower on my shoulder, and the leaves began to fall off their branches. They fell down smoothly, like a delicate dance.

Their falling was unexpected, but it wasn't surprising—just how beautiful the moment of transition could be. The sound of rustling leaves made me smile, and I couldn't help but feel both proud and humbled that I had been able to witness such a thing before.

As I continued my walk in the forest, I started to think about what it meant to seek out nature's beauty for so many years. Was it just about seeing the colors? Or was there more to it? The answer seemed to come from times when I felt safe and grounded, but even then, I couldn't shake off the sense that something deeper was at work in those moments of silence.

In the end, I found myself reflecting on my own journey as well. I had been on a path for 100 days, now I would ask myself: What had I learned that day? Was it just about seeing the beauty of nature, or was there something else that truly made me feel special?

That's all I can think of right now. The forest is still beautiful—just as it is now, but with a different kind of harmony in its embrace.
