The clouds are marshmallow white and in the far, far distance,
a sharp, dark blue line marks the divide between water and air,
the air crystalline in clarity, open as far as your dreams can see,
lush green palms and pines stand majestically tall,
yesterdays rain flowing from deep roots solidly anchored,
through their bark, fronds, needles, reaching into the sky,
emitting their knowing to anyone listening
whilst they sit under their canopy, back against the trunk,
close their eyes and breathe in deeply, the breath of the forest,
let their minds travel to destinations they didn’t know to be alive
within them,
become still, perfectly, comfortably still, let the future you see
before you, unfold…
I haven't seen a post from you in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI've just moved from CA to Oregon. I will dream of these words when I go out tomorrow. Lovely.
