and ultimately, we, who are as important as the trees, we just need to open up to it.
I wrote this in response to a gorgeous list my friend Heather made, of what she needs to be in the beauty of her moments…have since added and expanded… like Heather’s babe in belly… swelling in potential every day…
What do I need to be receptive to the beauty around me?
*ground..dirt and warmth of sunlight…
*quiet, strainfree time to ‘not listen’ but just be…
*affirmation..
*hands at the small of my back, of any size, age or gender…
*variety…of color,shape, texture, action…
*green… proof of something growing and changing…
*my people…my kids, my laugh-makers…
*bare hardwood floors…
*words, fluid…
*breath…
*schedulefree time…
*a story I can’t wait to get back to…
*someone to check on me…
*windy days, to remind me how connected I am to whats happening out there….
*curiosity about some distinct thing, a man, an issue, a color…
*a list.
Heather has a group she’s starting once she has her babe in arms, and once I check in with her that she wants it broadcast further, I’ll tell you about it. I imagine being in her arms for a group would feel like coming home. Its called Tether and Tend... which just makes me want to roll around on velvet.
