i feel her support underfoot

always carrying me.

 

her surface is softening

and

i am waking.

 

each day she changes

and

each day she offers something new.

 

how is it that you do not see this, human?

 

without her there is no us.

 

as i wander the land

SHE wanders with me.

as i forage for berries

SHE forages with me.

 

SHE is always there.

under foot

and

all around.

 

as i wake from my slumber

my eyes are fed.

life is everywhere.

 

she sheltered me as i rested.

held my young with loving care.

step out, dear humans

with your skinned feet

and feel.

 

feel her support

feel her nurturing

feel her endless offerings

the Great Mother Earth.
