I live by the seasons, I live to explore nature whenever I can... I look to it for comfort, guidance and to be spirituailly sustained. The whole natural world lives in my soul... I feel the skies, limitless in my mind and look to them often, I feel the earth pulling at my bones and holding firm my step, I feel the waves crash against the walls within and know that life continues to move to its own rythym ...
Lately, I am being driven to seek out those places where I can stand and feel it all. I've started walking-out-about again, for years my valley satisfied these urges and cravings of the soul. I would lose myself in the woods day after day seeking the hidden places, walking from one end to the other. In the woods, I learned much about myself, ... things that I needed to grow and sink my spirit into. I learned to connect with the earth in a way I had never imagined ... lol its one thing to visualize the power of earth, but remember what it was like to sleep cradled in the branches of a sun dappled tree? or slip quietly along natures footpaths? or dig your fingers into the dirt?
... Anyways, my time in the valley has changed and I find myself seeking outward again for a the next stage of my learning. Today, I went to the lake again, it was dark and violent ... its been calling me often and I have been pacing its shores almost relentlessly regardless of weather. Looking at the current course of my life right now, it doesn't surprise me that Water is the next lesson... unnerving it is, but necessary. My relationship with the element and its psychological manifestations is rarely amusing and usually unappreciated ... lol in fact... right now I feel like the rock the water is crashing against, the trick will be in becoming one with the wave. And so the lesson begins.
I often wonder how many others live their lives in similar manners... how do you connect to our world? When do you seek it out? Is it a daily gift to yourself or do you have to wait til the walls close in? Where do you go? Where is your heart's place in the wild world?
