Every summer as a young child my family drove to Florida. I, unable to sleep in the back of moving car would spend hours on end staring out the car window admiring the moving scenerary. I would stick my head out of the window as the crisp air would hit my face as I watched the trees changes from pine trees to palm trees, counting the cows on farms and simply enjoying the sceneary like a movie. These will be memories I will treasurer forever. But now because of the high tech technology in the society in which we live in today children will never be able to experience the same joys I had while viewing the moving sceneary in the back seat of my mothers mini van. In Richard Louv’s informative article, Last Child in the Woods he explains the deliama

In the story "Young Goodman Brown," written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author introduces evil images to tempt and delude Young Goodman Brown as he made his way through the woods.

In 1919, Sherwood Anderson composed his work Winesburg Ohio, which depicts the inner lives of small-town America. Anderson’s fascination to explore what’s beneath the surface of human lives results in another story in 1933 called “Death In The Woods”. These two works, incidentally, share a common theme of isolation. The characters in these works, are portrayed as “grotesques” or people who live their lives by one truth, thus living a life of falsehood and isolation from the rest of the world.

Upon walking ‘into’ Into The Woods one would say the mood was set well. The red curtain in front of the proscenium stage, the orchestra tuning their instruments, and a peculiar man standing on the side of the stage. I was prepared for the show, a water bottle and plenty of cough drops to get me through the 2 and ½ hours.

Our universe is an ever-turning wheel that maintains a beautiful balance of life. On the spokes of this wheel the existence of all things is assured; life is given, bodies and souls are fed, each position on the wheel is cultivated by the next, and then one day we will pass away, only to start the circle again in another mysterious way. Take a moment to look around you and see the many cycles that exist for the sole purpose of keeping our wheel in motion, and then recognize how little these great givers of life are celebrated, or even noticed. Without a second thought we will all at one time or another dishonor the same things that pay tribute to us. But that, too, is a part of the cycle. It’s not good, nor is it bad. It just is.

As the new year has rolled in, we often take to looking back the previous year. More often than not these days we tend to find many things we wish we could ignore, that we want to ignore.
