What the Trees Said – Our Bellies
We have missed you
stepping lightly
patting our
bellies
soft
small palms
leaning
into us
when you
are weary.
What I know of the divine sciences and the Holy Scriptures,
I have learned in woods and fields. I have no other masters
than the beeches and the oaks. Bernard of Clairvaux
Try This:
Spiritual Practice – Find a tree you like. Place both palms upon its bark. Feel the rough bark surface against your hands. Listen. Lean your weight against the tree. Look.
Say Amen.
