Forest Adventure - a Break from the Postmodern World

"Go to the wilderness, our ancestral birthplace,  
rugged yet beautiful, undisturbed, pure,
where peace-and- harmony reigns in all its glory ..."

Forest Adventure in acrylic on canvas (45" x 57") by AVR, 2016

Freedom from computer, television, smart phone,  

      mall, ball games, rigors of schooling;  

boredom of the Good Life, the idleness of leisure -,

      break out into the open and start living; 

Go to the wilderness, our ancestral birthplace,

      rugged yet beautiful, undisturbed, pure,

where peace-and- harmony reigns in all its glory,

      a world primordial, the womb of Nature.

Be courageous even in the midst of fear.

      catch fish, catch ideas too, in bounty;

conquer heights through will, guts and providence,

       revere life and all its diversity,

The forest has many eyes, more so in the night,

      fireflies and stars mingle, they are one;

join the birds, crickets, waterfall, running stream,  

      the spirit of the place in prayer and fun.  

 

Children to men these seven boys will soon become,

      leaders of a kinder world, friendly to creation,

disciples of Rizal, Mark Twain, Thoreau.  Emerson,

      hope of a lost postmodern generation. ~
