The Forage Provides
One cool, crisp morning, Indie treated herself to a saunter in the forest to forage ingredients for a special meal. She ducked through a familiar opening in the briar patch, leading to a clearing hidden deep in the heart of the woods, her secret spot. An independent soul and single woman, Indie relished the solitude and connection with nature, while appreciating that she was never truly alone in the forest. Today she shared her spot with delightful friends from the plant, fungi and animal kingdoms, including a honey bee, bunny, frog, ladybug, and a nesting bird. Basket in hand, she foraged wild rosehips, blackberries, onion, dandelions, acorns, chanterelles & morels, carefully leaving the toxic amanita undisturbed. As she departed, she looked back at the sunlight filtering through the canopy of a majestic oak, adorning her sanctuary with a patchwork of dappled light. That evening, Indie celebrated the forest’s generosity as she savored an exquisite, foraged feast.
