Up a steep trail into the deep forest until you reach a tree thousands of years old. If it sounds like a fairy tale or fantasy, it’s not. Take a walk in the ancient forest of Yakushima with filmmaker Steve Atkins’s short video. Who knows, maybe you will spot kodama – the spirit of the forest. Enjoy!
“Reverence for the forest – a sense of respect for the whole as much, much more than the sum of its parts.”

Keeping up the “Spreading the Word” tradition, I hope to share an insightful and mind-broadening article, podcast episode or video every weekend. Humans have always turned and returned to storytelling to find meaning. My end-of-week “Spreading the Word” posts are an online sharing of meaningful stories.
keep exploring and storytelling!
