Parable of the Forest

A Forest With No Names

In Through the Looking Glass, Alice wanders into strange woods where she forgets her name. She befriends a fawn who isn't afraid of her at all -- a human child. Since the fawn doesn't know that it's a fawn, and Alice doesn't know that she's a human child there's no fear between them.

That's how it works with the Forest With No Names: Fear doesn't exist here.

"This must be the wood," she said thoughtfully to herself, "where things have no names." (162, Carrol)

And since there's no burden of names and no fear, I can be completely myself here, and tell my story; my truth. It's easy to be authentic in the Forest with no Names.
