“When I was born, I was welcomed.
When I was born, I did not worry about tomorrow.
……
When I was born, the village had a party.
When I was born, I imagined nothing like this.
When I was born, I thanked the forest for taking care of me.
When I was born, the pine trees stood silent, still on the mountain.”
