Walk through the forest...

The light breeze ruffles through the trees, leaves fall and all around me I see a diaspora of colors, yellow, red, pink, purple. Such a magnificent treat for the eye.

Today, taking a break from my routine job of staring at the computer screen, I decided to take a walk behind my work place where exists a miniature - natural forest. My colleagues often tell me that they have sighted deers and rabbits and the rumor goes that a big turtle lives in the lake.

The light breeze sweeps through the lake, causing small ripples to come but still glimmering in the dimming lights of the horizon.

I am a very winter person and I like the feel of the cold air hitting me so as I walked, I was enjoying the smell of the fresh trees and the freshness of the entire surrounding which is so hard to get in downtown.

Being a Friday evening, no one sticks around work after 5 pm, so I had to take the walk myself. Walking through any forest, at other times would scare me, considering the possibility of wilderness creeping by. But since this is a cleared forest and just a smaller version of the big thing, I was rest assured and proceeded on my walk.

The walkway was beautiful and it is a pleasure for the eyes to see so much of greenery and I enjoyed as the light breeze brushed through my hair now.

However,

as I walked further down, I heard noises.. growling noises.. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..... It couldn't have been the breeze, it was too loud to be a car. I was scared.

I looked around me, but the trees stood still as if waiting for me to answer.

I had no idea where to go, because I had no idea where the sound was coming from. And suddenly, I look up to see a few planes shuttling around my workplace.

I was shocked to say the least!!

To me, it seemed scary that word is such an unsafe place now that leave police on road and coast guards, you have regular people patrolling the skies...

The realization is a very terrible one, mainly because...

If a walk through the natural forest brings with it fear of animals,

A Walk through the technological forests of today bring with it the fear of not being able to take a walk in the light breeze again...
