Angelica saw the beauty and felt the heart of the universe. Nature called her name. The trees were her allies; the animals, her constant companions.

Angelica's Mother called their home 'Boat of Love'. Indeed, it was. Colonae held all this love inside the tree roots, and expressed itself in the games it played with Angelica. It is easy to hear the voice of the universe when one silences oneself enough from the mental roars that intrude from the ever-developing industrial world. Angelica found her silence inside blades of grass and the crayons she used to express her imagination. This is where angels are safe to visit.
