172.628 - 200.205

if you've been there before you'll know exactly why I'm starting to talk about this and if you've not heard of it before you may recognize it still or have seen it and not actually realized it because supposedly it's actually a wood that's been used for

201.755 - 253.463

several famous films in the past apparently Puzzlewood is featured in some of the Lord of the Rings films for example and if you ever had the chance to visit you would understand exactly why it is a place that people might wish to film something of fantasy in, because it is straight out of a book of fairies or folklore. And it's strange because before you enter this woodland,

Chapter 2: What experiences does Andrew share about Puzzlewood?

1783.978 - 1852.244

A little pond here. A little log shack there. Small little chase over this direction. Little gully, little tunnel through the bushes in the other. I think woodlands are their best when they are sort of allowed to to grow in such a way that they can produce these unique pockets, these unique parts. I often feel like I have sort of these profound spiritual experiences in forest.

I can think of several that sort of jumped to mind even just in saying that. The first time my partner took me to a forest a little ways away that I'd never been to before. On a day when it had been snowing heavily and walking through the silent forest, through the snow, that felt incredibly profound. The way the forest had changed, the way it was different, although I'd never seen it before.

I could tell that it was Wearing a new coat, as it were. The first time I had run to one of our local forests, I'd gone on a jog. And at the time we lived further away and it was quite a jog to get there.

1935.762 - 1971.718

But when you entered into it, one of the first paths that lead around the corner will send you along sort of like a dirt track that is flanked on either side by huge, huge oaks with broad trunks that arch over you and you feel like you're going through this gigantic sort of arched tunnelway of trees. And on that day, it was just reaching evening and the sun was just setting.

There was a warm orange glow dabbling through the leaves. So I ran over this dirt path and jumped over thick roots laying the way. I don't know if it is simply my upbringing and the way I have been sort of taught to think about nature and forests that causes me to look upon a forest as profoundly

2031.443 - 2092.787

or whether indeed there is something universally profound about a forest for those that are ready to look upon it in that way. I can only think it must be a mixture of both those things, and I don't know how often you get a chance to go to the forest but the next time you do spend a little time just a moment to yourself looking up looking up at the canopy of the trees

2095.501 - 2166.159

Seeing how the branches grow. Seeing how they branch out from one another. How they sway in the breeze. Think about how their shape makes you feel. Think about How long they must have been there. And what they must have been through to have remained there for so long. And see if you can find an answer. A truth. In the trees. And sometimes you can see that truth, like I say.

2167.581 - 2592.153

Without really knowing what it is. Almost as if it has a blanket over top. You can see the shape. But. not distinctly what it actually is. But if you do happen to see it, let me know what it is, what you saw. Thank you for watching. Piano music. . . . So, Thank you. you you you you Let's pray. you Thank you.

Chapter 3: What final thoughts does Andrew leave listeners with?

2636.007 - 2721.482
