The forest welcomes me on my daily pilgrimage. My bare feet open to the throb of the earth, a steady rhythm in unison with my heartbeat.\u00a0<\/p>

‘Slow down’ she whispers. As the branches wave, bird chants soothe the echoes of my human mind, trees and dogs invite me for an intimate hug, I melt.<\/p>

The moon is at its fullest, the cricket’s noisy trance, dark shadows revealing hidden fears, initiations into faith and humility.<\/p>

Rustling leaves in the bush, a wild pig crosses my path, a snake walks over my feet, while I cursed the forest, not to have elephants or rivers.<\/p>

Day after day, She reveals Her face to me, Her power, Her beauty, Her unexpected moves in the eternal rhythm of synchronicity.<\/p>

Another gentle snake guardian stops me in my tracks, a big toad being swallowed. Evil transformed by serpent power.<\/p>

Colours and shapes, oh you beauty! You shed your skins, inviting me to surrender to your wonder. Seeds of wisdom and phychological perfection fall into place.<\/p>

My feet walk with the ashes of burnt memories.<\/p>

Lockdown imposes; I clean, I cook, I garden.<\/p>

I weave a net with ropes of God. In my heart, neurons grow, vibrating with Earth’s blessings. Water breaks and birth is imminent; it will be wild, expectant, and non-linear. A bubble, after the rains, grows, joins and pops.<\/p>

My cat purrs with the stars at night.<\/p>

Returning; I yawn, I cry, I pray.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
