Forest Bathing

This is a grounding poem about how we can find self-love in the all-embracing arms of nature. I wrote and simultaneously recorded this poem in the forest near my home in Switzerland. When we allow ourselves time for solitude in the trees, we connect to gratitude, joy, and the deep wisdom that resides within our soul.

Wishing you deep peace and so much love and self-compassion.

Forest bathing.

Deep within the forest arms,

Self-love finds its expression.

Comparisons all fade away,

As does the soul's suppression.

There's freedom here.

Fresh signs appear.

I open to what's calling.

A greater sense of truth is near,

Into its trust I'm falling.

Deep within the forest's heart,

The bird song offers choices.

We cannot hear ourselves until we silence social voices.

What others think is their spilled ink,

The mysteries universal.

We're full of kinks,

Our hearts still pink.

This is no dress rehearsal.

The grey towel doors opens my paws and twists where there's compression.

Deep within the forest arms,

Self-love finds its expression.
