My Trip to the Redwoods  

Earth

I find a piece of earth
And l lay
I lay with my heart on the ground
And let each of my heartbeats
kiss earth
First ever-so quickly
And then ever-so gently
moment by moment
she grounds me
slows me
calms me
holds me
And then she whispers
      “Just lay,
        Lay
        and let your heart be held,
        your worries be softened,
        your soul be consoled,
        Just lay, Dani
        Just lay
        I will not let go
        I am holding you.”

In the Redwoods
I go
To find you,
Earth
To surrender.
I lay my heart to your heart
My beat to your beat
And I try
I try to let go
To trust
That you have me
You hold me
You save me

At first,
I Resist.
Still out of breath
From the summit
Still hearing the orchestra
of my quick heart-beat

But then…
Magic.
I slowly release
I slowly let go
I slowly trust
That you
You enormous beauty of a spinning spirit,
You
Can hold me
Will hold me
And do hold me.

And so,
I surrender
To your power,
To your protection,
To your guidance.

I sleep
In your shelter
With your canopy as my refuge
your sun as my blanket.

I let my breath soften
And echo your gentle wind’s breath
I let my heart slow
And echo your beat below

You show me
That I am loved
I am supported
I am always protected
On this journey
We call life.

Because of you,
I am ready
I am ready to journey.

Filled with love and thirst,
my soul seeks 
to see, feel, and understand
Who I am
Why I am
Who you are
Why you are
Who we are
Why we are

And so, 
together, 
we journey…
