Do not simply go into the woods dear friend and expect to be given your answers and offered your peace go into it in order to become it only then will your knowing be wiser for when you become what you long to connect with most you no longer see it as being something outside of you you cannot connect fully to anything dear friend that you believe is separate from you true connection is an ability to look within yourself and realize that you're not lacking in answers but in the quiet it requires to listen to what you already know the wilds of our earth and of our own hearts are much the same connect to the heart in the same way you would an open field a woody grove,
A vast and unyielding tide give your whole body to it if you long to connect to tree ask yourself what is it like to be tree and imagine roots sprouting through your souls cracking open the earth reaching deep into the cold damp soil imagine the sturdiness of your trunk the gentle sway of your limber branches ask yourself what is it like to lose a leaf to allow it to fall to the ground what is it like to use what has already descended to grow taller if you long to connect to ocean ask yourself what is it like to be ocean imagine the fullness of your body the unknown depths of you being silently pulled towards the moon what is it like to reach into every furrow,
Every crease and seam of this world some parts of you peacefully hugging shore some parts of you dancing with mavericks what is it like to rest upon the skin of earth to connect to moon,
What is it like to be moon sun drifting across space,
The cold always pressing upon your back what is it like to be space,
Without edges ends meeting beginnings beginnings meeting ends earth a microscopic cell within your eternity therefore if you long to connect with heart what is it like to be heart placed tenderly inside a chest hemmed in by bones your vibration echoing through the body's valleys you are a signaller,
A receiver,
A lighthouse during night's long end unconditional present,
Counseled by spirit and soul grounded by body part of the un-birthed as well as the very aliveness that causes you to beat open not in spite of the ache but because of it gently fierce,
Trusting,
Forgiving,
Surrendering always at ease,
Kind,
Folding over and over into yourself never depleted,
Space holding,
Light bending allowing all to belong,
Lifting all into the sacred do not simply go to the heart dear friend and expect to be given your answers and offered your peace go to it in order to become it this is how you will remember that you've never been separate from that which you seek connection with
