A Poem from Today's Bush Journaling
a sense of slow connection
a gentle uncovering
a soft unveiling, aligned
I've taken a gap year
for things to be lighter,
arms opening wide
a slightly curved motion
bringing it all in
it has been super tight
a coming-home-feeling
a bringing together
supporting my tummy, back, height
sensitive in the world
leaning within
Self love, self care, combined
a myriad of worlds
a knowing of nuances
there's something in this to find
a laser focus
a full awareness
energy beyond my own skin
an intuitive component
lovely. smooth flecks
a profound move in the breeze
I touch grandma grace,
honoring the animacy
giving attention, a body that’s wide
my own breed of therapy
the art of connection
crossing the threshold bridge
my tummy and heart
come back to the body
to its width, its breath, its edges
sweat dripping down
my elbows, spine, forehead
bearing witness, allowing change
insects let me know
a fallen green branch
That's correct, clear out, flow freely
I come to the end
feels like a continuing
a river, the ground, reclaimed
