Mother Earth, 2014

When my animal nature gets the better of me I like to retreat back to the seed that I Am. Rooting back in my core, planted solidly into the earth. Tendrils reaching and radiating down below to the crystalline center of Mother Gaia. And up above towering into the abyss and shooting out into the cosmos.

Returning to my half remembered Self. Seeping out of my body and logic. Unfurling and blossoming in tree time - slowly, sensual, sublime. Electric, eager, immersed. I return to being complete, boundless, beloved.

Here I am. All of me. At one with all.
