Day 20 Wednesday February 3

Day 3 of solo

Glitter on the eyes

Weaving Agave strands into my hair

Becoming part of Nature

A charcoal swirl around my ankle

Adorned in Her jewelry

Threads of Yucca around my wrist

Tiny twigs and leaves placed delicately

Tidbits of Nature hug my body

And I am reminded of the beauty of it all

I shall braid myself a wreath of flowers

To crown myself one of Nature’s dwellers

Linking chain after chain, it become a circle

No hard edges

No beginning and no end

Merely unified by being, round and round and round

There’s something about coming home after a long journey – comforting, refreshing, nurturing.

I can’t wait to be back in the land of familiarity – the trick will be to maintain this feeling of serenity while going through the motions of every-day life.

Destruction and Rebirth.

How easy it is to pack up and leave

And how slowly we become adjusted

To our new surroundings.

It takes patience and understanding

To get to know new things

But how readily we can pick up and go

Destruction and Rebirth.

I am born again after a time of solitude.

Thank you Mother Nature, for all that you have given me

Thank you Mother Nature, for all that we have shared.

I hope I have been a good student

To your teachings

I will carry your heart here, in mine.

Thank you Mother Nature, for all that you have given me

Thank you Mother Nature, for all that we have shared

I am carrying your heart with me, I am leaving a piece of mine here.
