Snuggles Forest

We were so desperate for somewhere new and interesting, that wasn’t SL19B-related, that we decided to visit the ‘Snuggles Wedding Chapel’, which was apparently surrounded by the ‘Snuggles Forest‘. We were instantly struck by the beautiful sky, here, which makes everything feel like it’s in an American Pastoral Landscape painting…

… it’s so nice when you don’t expect much, but you find something beautiful! Leading away from the chapel are several paths through woods and alongside streams and ponds and the sea. There are many animals and birds, and many places to sit and rest, or just…

… look at the animals and ponds and things…

… we came across a clearing filled with monarch butterflies. Flutter was chattering away to them, introducing herself and me, when I suddenly realised she didn’t know they weren’t sentient to the degree that she was. ‘You realise they can’t understand you, or talk to you, don’t you, sweetheart?’ I gently asked her. ‘What…?’ she replied in a little voice…

… she was very quiet for a while, after that. “You ok, baby?’ I eventually asked her…

… ‘I feel sorry for them’ she replied ‘I could sense their happy little thoughts, but didn’t know they couldn’t communicate with me.’…

…’They have ‘happy little thoughts’?’ I asked…

… ‘Yes, you can’t sense them?’ she answered and asked in return ‘Nope’ I replied ‘But, there you go, you CAN communicate with them, in a way, if you can sense their thoughts… perhaps they can sense yours?’… ‘Yes, perhaps they can… thank you, Seri’ she said…

… we continued our amble through the Snuggles Forest…

… ‘There’s no other life, apart from you, in the future…’ she eventually said… ‘… so I’m not that experienced with how other living things communicate.’…
