Tragedy with a View

Life can be hard, but children are resilient.
As a child, you can find fascination in the simplest of objects, find friends in birds flittering by over your head, and companionship with the trees and leaves.
You play eagerly, and learn without intention, letting the elements of the earth breathe life into your skin and soul. The sun dances on your cheeks and the wind rustles your hair.
Helping you to connect to what really matters - for it is Mother Earth that provides everything we need to survive. Curled up in a bed of warmth. A belly full of berries and a stream satiated your thirst, you find yourself drifting off to sleep with nothing but wonder for tomorrow.
You are almost 4 and when the morning sun brightens the sky, you open your eyes and blink the sleepiness away. Then your eyes focus and you find, that you are utterly alone.
Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.
