Under the umbrella
of green-leafed branches,
I pray for insight, for healing
With the river to guide me,
I walk, mindful of nature,
listening, heart open
As I breathe, I acknowledge
limitlessness of sky, life-sustaining
forces of earth, sacred steps
I sacrifice this separateness
to honour the whole, make room
for spirit, numinous connection.
Absolutely beautiful. I love the way your words take me right there, to that meditative inner space. 🙂

Acknowledging the whole is so very important,its not a snow globe where you shake it and imagine,life for that moment just as it is life
Light & Peace
