Into the deep forest

The morning air echoes with life,

Deep breaths,

Filling the dawn mist.

Its heart beating in rhythm with mine.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The dust of the earth coats my feet,

The rich, silky soil, making everyone one and the same.

It doesn't matter who we are.

Towering giants far above my head.

Reaching for the stars,

For something more.

Always looking up,

Knowing there is something more.

The earth itself nurtures us like a mother nurtures her child.

Embracing humanity.

Now we need to embrace it.
