between the surface

Bridging the gap
Mind-body-soul
Each day the path becomes
more exposed
Noticeable to the virgin eye.
The rain washes over the frozen surface
Penetrating the ice and
Revealing the earth...
With each press
melting into one.
Tender to the bone
Looking to and being seen
Take me into your embrace
Hold me
Guide me
Into this foreign landscape-
Into this unmarked territory-
A reborn identity

The powerful winds wipe the mind clear
Drowning out chatter
Howling across the lake and
Vibrating the skin.
A play between strength and sensuality-
Weaving between the trees
Gusts reveal secrets
Drinking in spoken words of wisdom
Deep Deep breath’s of fresh crisp air
Open the insides
Clearing cobwebs from the corners
Freedom from the inside out.

Stepping forward
A comforting silence sweeps over every cell
Protected by the forest- By your presence.

At the crossroads
A stranger to the self
and never alone.
At the crossroads- a wanderer- a traveler- a seeker
Stop swimming so furiously to stay afloat
Stop searching so fiercely
Realizing the journey IS the goal
Fall to your knees
Lay down your hands
Unclench your fists
Arms wide open
Surrender
The vibrant stream carries you
purifies the terrain
Allowing the body to flow freely into
Unknown sacred places…
