An Ode to Electric Forest
Electric Forest is the time of your life
It takes you away from your day to day pain and strife
You enter into a land so magical and pure
And at that moment, you know you’re sure
That you’ve come to the right place
For love is in abundance in this sacred shared space
The people you meet you know are truly happy to see you Those little interactions with them makes you forget you were ever so blue The magic of the Forest fills you with true happiness and love And you know that everyone you meet is a true gift from up above With lessons to teach you that you didn’t realize you needed As in your mind healthier thoughts are being seeded
Leading you on a journey of acceptance and self-discovery Until finally you can’t help but feel truly and completely free To be your true and unadulterated self Instead of placing that persona on a shelf For now there’s no need to hide away in shame or fear Because you know without a doubt that you truly are safe and accepted here
Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect are fully embodied through those four days And seeing it in action can lead you to change your own ways To remember what’s important, that we are all connected And nourish those connections that we have for so long neglected For in the Forest we create our own world filled with love and compassion And live in a society in which those things are in fashion
But all of it means nothing if we don’t continue to do our part And share the spirit of the Forest with others long after we depart For it is up to us to create the world we wish to live in Instead of simply accepting that people like us can never win Against the tides of society’s hatefully disconnected status quo So into the outside world must our love and acceptance overflow
Remember what you learned in the Forest this year And keep your love and acceptance kicked into high gear Share that love with everyone you meet and greet Trying to remember that there’s no need to try to compete Because my success is your success and your success is mine And as long as we work together all our stars will align.
See you next year, Forest Fam!
