Like a lost child

30th June, 2010

The tree is such a friend! She pulls me outside to visit her in the chilly dark moments just before dawn. You only do that for a friend.

Once I am out the door there is nowhere I would rather be. The feeling is so soft out there, nature is so loving, it welcomes me like a lost child. Where have you been? Come and be with us, you belong with us! And all around me is the community of nature, peaceful and together, even within the city we have made.

A crow is cawing in the distance, the moon is big and setting behind the neighbour’s house, no breeze stirs, it is all stillness, my skin tingles with the winter air and I know that this is perfection, because nature accepts everything equally and is complete in all her forms.
