"La niña del bosque te abraza, te tiende la mano y te sumerge en la naturaleza. Los árboles te rodean. Caminas con tranquilidad. La luz se filtra entre las hojas y observas la infinidad de matices verdes y ocres. Percibes ese olor inconfundible de la tierra y sientes que formas parte de la vida. Escuchas el trinar de los pájaros y el sonido del viento meciendo las copas de los árboles. Estás disfrutando de un baño de bosque." -- P.4 of Cover.
