There was one time when I was working construction that we were working in the woods to clear it out for a house to be built. At the end of the day we were walking back and Ben (one of the other workers) forgot his wallet at the job site. He asked me to go get it, so I started the journey back. I got back with no trouble and found it, and then turned around. I had no idea how to get back at all, I thought to myself that I never walked back by myself, just with other people. I sat there with no cell phone signal thinking okay, I have to recognize something on the way back. I looked around and saw nothing I could remember. Then something happened, I was looking at one of the trees, and all of a sudden its leaves started to sway. I looked around and NONE of the other trees were moving. I started to think okay, I'm going crazy. I went along with it, and started to make the trek back to the rendezvous spot. Then, I see some moss on the correct side of the tree telling me I'm going the right way. I kept riding the ridge line hoping I would eventually see Ben and the guys. About five minutes after starting the walk from the swaying tree, I found the site where we were gathering and was amazed what had happened. I won't forget that tree and sometimes go back and look at it, to see if I had some kind of connection with it.
