Being out in Nature is the way I connect to my thoughts, my feelings, my joy, my everything really. I like to be secluded(but not alone) in nature with them, whether it is the rocky mountains in which I live, or visiting the oceans where I grew up, i find almost all my inspiration for writing comes from outside. It creates the emotions and voices inside me from which I write.
Oh, sentient One, my Oak
branches strong above me lay
spread across the open grasses golden hills of California
floating pelicans perfectly placed between masses of elements breathe
upon my moons we wake gently too by my light full
on the building of waves movement across the oceans
swells slowly awake at my post facing our mountains
your soul army arching from behind through the hills your branches reach
meandering paths just peak along the bluffs
reaching in shallow pools hands pricked by sea anenome
rooting my topsoil secluded trails of enchanted forests blanketed
only by distant low vibrations
we play in the patches of sunlight
weaving through the intoxication of bell flower forests, laughing
laying on a suns ray field purple with long smiles
mostly I love the patchy shade of the redwoods filtering happiness through the reality of hundreds of years of birth, life, love, loss, death.
