Returning
I sit beneath a tree,
trying to connect -
with the earth,
with nature,
with something more than myself.
Still, I feel separate.
Then, the rain begins to fall -
a gentle drizzle
kissing the ground,
nourishing the soil,
washing over me.
It cleanses worry, softens fear,
and in that moment,
something shifts.
I feel the embrace of the earth again.
The quiet wisdom of nature
calls me back to wholeness.
These energies -
they nourish,
they heal.
And I am grounded once more.
With love,
Susan
