Within the tall grass

As I sit here,

the wind stirs the tall grass,

and each blade waves,

beckoning me deeper

into this green cocoon.

The swish of uncounted blades

whispering away my thoughts;

the call of mindless insects 

singing that siren song

of peace and abandon;

roots reach up

from never seen spaces

to pull me back

into a time 

and place

I've never known,

and in this moment,

I expand and disappear.

this is why you need the goats!

it was so hard to read this poem with the intense, loud ray charles blarring in my ear from the speaker behind me at a busy starbucks....I want to unplug my life for three weeks and forest bathe!


Much Love

Oh WOW!!! That's a major accomplishment! I traded in the dress code for camo, flannel, boots and a mañana attitude ;-) Love the term "forest bathing"!!! I'll have to share that! ;-)

snow could be a problem! ;-) don't have much of that here. May go a couple of years with no snow, just ice storms. Still, nights under those bright stars, with the coals glowing, maybe the creak of a light wind in the near dead branches while you look so far into the past...magic ;-). But probably not at your temps!
