In Nature, I find new Strength

Heart made out of hazelnut flowers in our Sanctuary Forest Garden I found yesterday.

How Nature, Sister, Mother Earth, our Sanctuary Forest Wild Garden give me strength as I walked in the windy cold Winter yesterday.

Hazelnut flowers blowing in the wind.

I penned about slowing down, making time, fall in love...
Again and again when I take moments to pause, be still, in silence, just being...
I fall in love again and again.
I find myself falling in love with the Wild and our Forest Wild Garden again and again.

Yesterday after putting away the green waste into the compost bin I temporary created,
I decided to take a walk around our Forest Wild Garden.
I take walks quite frequently even in the cold winter, in the light rain or with the wind blowing against my face, my nose dripping.

Stepping on the wet soils, as it rains very frequently here,
I stop, look and witness what is in the moment.

I discover new growth, new life in this early winter.
We can't deny the climate change as it is a warm winter,
though to me it is cold especially with the wind blowing.

I find new strength, new hope, new courage in me.
How resilient is Nature.

I delight at the new growth emerging out of the Earth.
My whole being leaps with joy.

I witness the flowers of the hazelnut flying in the sky.
Beautiful she is.
The delicate gentleness of the flowers move gracefully as the wind caresses them.

The wind has been blowing hard since last evening.
The wind no longer terrifies me.
Yet the wind is the song and whistles of God's presence and love
In the Universe, in our Sanctuary Forest Wild Garden.

I sometimes stand still in the midst of the Forest
as the wind caresses my face and whole being.
Witnessing,
In stillness,
​Just being...

I gather my strength again in the embracement of love of God/Sister, Mother Earth.

*May you find new hope, strength 2020.*
