Forest Walking

Never lose the magic

It’s everywhere

Remember how it feels

Forest walking

Could be a stick

Could be a wand

-

It’s been a great day

TWO forest walks🙌

Perspective

I could spend all my days in the forest

Some summer beach time for sure

But the frequency of the forest is unlike anything else

The smells

Calm

Alive

Abundant

The forest is grounded

But free to sway in the wind

To scatter seeds all around

To expand freely

Recycle itself

Cover its tracks

Allow new life to emerge

Simple

Yet so effing complex

Far beyond the mind’s scope

A space for the heart

To open

For the lungs to expand and contract

To move in rhythmic flow

With effortless intention

Makes me tear up a little, really

What a sacred space

A happy place

Where magic reveals itself

Like the laughing squirrel

Or the oak seeding acorns

Right on queue

May the magic engulf me

Take me to new levels

Deep within the soil

Where many may fall

To become one

Black earth

Green sprouts

May the magic within me

Recognize itself in the forest

May they rejoice in their reconnection

Writing that brought up some tears

In a sweet & delicate way

Listening to Adrianne Lenker’s “instrumentals” album

The songs are medications (..original word there was ‘meditations’, but as i transfer the work from journal to electronic, autocorrect changed it to medications haha love it, made me giggle)

The songs are meditations

I feel like I was flowing with her

As she plays, I move through the writing

Let the words come to you

It cannot be forced

Nor simulated with the mind

The mind must decipher & decode

And it doesn’t always have to be words

Twice now, I’ve had “downloads” where a feeling/impulse came into my body, from the top of my head, and instantly understood what it meant.. but couldn’t put any words to it

Even thinking about it right now

It’s like.. it’s like

It’s like remembering something you already knew

Like “oh, yeah!”💡

But you don’t know the details

You just understand the feeling

You can ‘know’ the details if you really want to, but that’s not what came to you, so why force it?

The remembering & understanding is enough

That’s the lesson

Tea time

Still rocking a Yellow Mellow variation

Chamomile

Lemongrass

Ginger
