Friends *

The forest outside suddenly bursts into sound—leaves rustling, birds calling, something strange and bright in the air. You open the door and there they are: small, colorful creatures with skin like flower petals and eyes that seem to smile. They rush in, carrying the smells of the forest—damp earth, crushed herbs, something sweet and wild. They laugh, bump into things, apologize to the plants that they toppled, and settle in like they’ve always belonged. You put the kettle on and let them talk, their voices buzzing. They start telling stories—about glowing fields, mountains that hum, and places where the sky feels close enough to touch. They pull out little treasures: a seed that glows, a shiny bit of bark, a wing like silver foil. They talk about what they love, a bit about what they dont and a lot about that which just is. When you finally ask where they came from, they just smile and point behind you. “There.”
