When there is water, there is life. Nao peeked over the edge and saw a reflection of itself. Sure it may be living, but it's all alone. Such solitude is rare. In this digital day and age, some quietness is very much needed from the barrage of constant notifications from being connected 24 hours a day. Not much tweets and dings here, just the sound of running water that is music to the ears.

The forest, thriving with life, could be a hospitable place to get lost in. The critters beneath rotten logs, squirrels running from branch to branch, birds soaring above the canopy, and hogs amongst the ground plants. The visceral energy of nature is pure and untamed. Even though this particular bear wounded up here by accident, this detour will definitely be a vivid and memorable experience.
