The girl in the glade

It’s difficult to see her but there’s a young child and her bike in the glade. She looks so small, dwarfed by the trees, vulnerable and alone among the giants and the open space.





The little one has lost a treasure and is off her bike to search in the glade. She retraces the path she took without much success. Frustrated, she is ready to give up. 





However, a friend nearby helps her and together they locate the lost treasure. The child is relieved but reluctant to proceed as before.


The friend offers words of encouragement and a helping hand so she ventures forth again.





And so it goes.

A lovely place to ride her bike. I love how the sunlight filters down through the leaves.

Ah, to be 8 again, and riding with a sweet companion. With the wind in my hair, without a helmet of course, and the dream that I am faster than anything on the planet.

Sometimes a friend is needed to find lost treasure Marie, especially under tall trees in dappled light ✨

What a sweet story and the perspective with that small child and large trees is perfect.
