September 22, 9:00 AM: I stepped into the forest, boots crunching leaves and a sense of wonder in my pocket.

The trees leaned politely toward me, offering dappled light as though approving of my arrival. A lemur peeked from a branch, twitching its tail like it had a question but no intention of asking.
