You Can't Run Through The Forest

You can't run through the forest
In darkness, and not expect
To bump into a tree.





[NOTE: I would be surprised if 1000 people haven't said this before. Perhaps #MitochondrialEve said it to Adam, somewhere here in Africa -- but no one's talking. Perhaps it's heard among the Ogiek (Whom Hemingway calls Wanderobo in Green Hills...) each single day, who knows.  Or perhaps Hemingway says it in Across The River and into the Trees, or in Green Hills of Africa, but I don't know yet. Perhaps Peter Mathiessen in The Tree Where Man Was Born, perhaps not]
