  • Artist Info: When I was 5 yars old I got lost in the woods by our home.<br />
    You cant blame me. It was spring and with all the rain everything was a lush magical green. Unbelievably green.<br />
    At first, like any 5 year old I didnt know I was lost. It didnt really dawn on me until I started getting tired. That's when the kitsune found me.<br />
    I was sitting against a tree and because I was tired I was starting to feel a little worried. A fox appeared, a vixen, looking at me from behind another tree. Then a couple more appeared and they all looked me over. They all sat near that other tree and watched me and talked. <br />
    After a time two of them left and the third walked over to me and laid down against me.<br />
    I naively touched her fur. It was so soft and warm and my fear began to fade away. I imagined she must have been waiting for me to get comfortable and at that point rose and began to walk away, not very fast and she would pause until she saw I was following. She led me thru the woods until we came to my yard.<br />
    I ran up to the house very relieved. When I realized she was no longer with me I looked back towards the woods just in time to see a big bushie tail disappear thru the fern.<br />
    I never did see any foxes around our home again but I always sort of felt they were watching me from the tree line whenever I was in the yard.    <br />
