I am here
Listening to the murmurs of the trees
Telling stories to the ferns
Deep in the earth
Small creatures move in living worlds unseen
While sounds and scent raft currents on rivers of air
The hairs on my arm tremble
In response to the gnat caught in a spider’s web
Moss and pine needles carpeting the forest
Whisper messages through bare feet
And the creek speaks destiny
To my fingertips
I am just trying to breathe but I hope one day to do all those things. It’s a wonderful journey, meeting me.
One breath at a time, Linda. That is what the forest keeps teaching me. Enjoy the journey!
