"Sometimes I only need to stand
where I am to be blessed."
- Mary Oliver
Going into the forest puts me in touch with what's important. Priorities reassert themselves when I'm feeling as though I'm losing my way. There is a lovely walk at the end of the road where I live. I head into the quiet of the green and feel the reassurance of moss and fern. In silence, I hear.
Today, I saw a little dormouse scamper into his wee house, a hole at the base of a tree. He perched there, his cute rounded ears attentive, watching me pass. Forest news worth noting.
With the world a-jumble, this is how I make the crooked places straight within. To show up where it feels right, to live one's best life, and leave the rest to Spirit.
