rest here at the feet of the earth
plant your own deep roots
find the will to stay
the way is to meet stillness
where do you have to get to anyway?
what could be more important
than listening to the rustle of leaves
or communing with a slow unfolding fern?
the fern and the leaves know more about living
than you can hope to discover somewhere
out in the wide populous lonely world
here you can live into the big space
the one your soul longs to occupy
the one beyond ideas and stories
with no words like could or should
rest here at the feet of the earth
plant your own deep roots
give yourself to the grace
of what rises from within you
these roots will give you wings
to fly
I am a nature girl, always have been. I have said many times that the things I miss most living in Shanghai are my family, my friends and the forest. I find the forest to be magical and healing. When I am in nature I feel renewed and reconnected to myself. Even if I can't get out into pure nature, just feeling my feet on the ground helps me regain my center.
