My Walk Today
During my walk today I felt an unusual and somehow strange silence around me; it was a beautiful silence. Here is an account of my whole experience.
The roads are deserted, no cars, no people. There is something different in the air, a kind of stillness. I hear the birds’ chirping sounds clearer than ever.
As I enter and walk into the woods, I can feel the gentle breeze creating a creaky noise on the tree tops as I see them flow from side to side. I get a sense of grounding as I observe the tree trunks; they are so solid, so still and deeply rooted in the earth. I feel a huge urge to sigh!
Following my impulse I start to breathe deeply ,I feel the earth breathing through me, I feel her sighs of relief expressed through my body. Then there is a sense of peacefulness, a sense of surrender, a sense of acceptance a sense of been pure presence.
I arrive and sit on the base of a tree truck, feeling the grounding energy of the beautiful and graceful grandfather tree I visit regularly during my walks. I can feel mother earth’s sigh again through me and her sense of relief coming through loud and clear. There are a few drops of rain falling; cleansing rain, cleansing water droplets, cleansing my face, cleansing my soul, cleansing the air, cleansing the old; preparing for the new. I am filled with gratitude as I let my heart expand; I am taking it all in!
This whole experience is an invitation to feel, to connect with the earth to connect with the true mother. I can feel her heart beat and know that everything is as it is meant to be.
So I am breathing with her, moving with her, transforming and upgrading with her. Looking at the green colours of the trees, I feel a profound stillness and sense an abundance of calmness surrounding me. The smell of the wet soil reminds me of something very familiar, a deep connection with the mother who is holding me in her arms with her unconditional love. She is assisting me to move deeper to shift my experience. I am starting to feel waves of gratitude ebbing and flowing within my heart, as I am breathing in, through her. It all happens in the woods as I am lost in the moment.
Then a question enters my mind.
What if I was the only person on the planet?
As I contemplate on that question, I see some birds fly in the sky and crossing my path, I see beautiful blossom starting to break open on the tree branches around me. Pigeons are flying in front of me, the wind is waking up my senses and the smell of the earth takes me back home .A cat is just sitting on the top of the fence in stillness and presence. The bird songs create an orchestra of melodies; and once again I feel relaxed and content surrounded by greenery.
So what if I was the only person in the planet?
Nature has delivered its magic again. I feel at one with everything. No need to look for anything. I am present with what is, yet again. And as I look up in the sky the grey clouds create a blanket, a blanket of warmth, a blanket of connection, a blanket of support. I feel blessed, truly alive no disconnection or lack. I feel abundant! I feel at one!
At this point I am taking a deep breath in to absorb the beauty above and below and unite it all within me. And the rain water keeps falling and as it falls cleanses my energy, cleanses my soul. The trees are standing very tall, no expectation, no fear just being; the birds are singing their song with no thought, just being in presence.
Maybe the human race is tired and needs to rest a little to find the intuitive part and strength within. Nature though, is still out there sharing its beauty, love and grace, always connected to mother earth. What a gift we have, if we only see it.
Feeling a wave of sadness for the current turmoil & chaos on our earth at present, but also a sense of excitement and anticipation for what is coming. Change is on its way!
