I spent my day at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens today.  Our program finally got to the session that connected us to nature!  My senses were overloaded and my spirit was so full with today’s experiences.  I am so excited to share my conversation with nature.  As always it was epic.

Grass:

“Oh honey welcome back!  After all these years welcome!  Take your shoes off and sit for a spell.  Do you remember how you loved to feel me under your feet as a child?  You never wanted to wear shoes.  Shoes were a form of restraint, but your little mind could not know the reason for the need to discard shoes.  Do you remember the barefoot walks with me and sunshine?  You were feeling and being then weren’t you honey?  You were beginning to know your identity and then life carried you away.

We knew you’d reconnect with us so we have been waiting for your.  Waiting for you to find your spirit and voice.  Creation has been waiting for you dear one.  Listen to the song of nature.  It is all around you.  Sometimes quiet.  Sometimes loud.  You prefer quiet due to the noise of those who are around you.  Silence is not reclusive little one.  Find your place in the univers and mark it.  Listen honey we are speaking widom to you today.  Profound wisdom.

You did not lose your connection to us.  It only seemed that way.  Another illusion right?  You keep wondering what is going on.  What is this experience.  It is the traveling of your ancestors to greet you.  They are waiting to show you things to connect to us to express who you truly are.  Your mentor’s referral will be your guiding lantern down this new path.

Aren’t we just splendid honey?!  Yes you too for you are a part of us.  You belong to us.  Your spirit is seeking a deeper connection to your true self.  Authenticity!

Listen to the song of the water.  You found it as an adult.  Many trials allowed you to hear the lyrics to her song.

Water:

I flow freely.  Sometimes in many directions.  You hear freedom when you are near me.  Freedom to drop the burdens given to you as weights by others.  Others always needing you.  Flow Kathryn.  Just be and flow.  Let your hands be emptied.  Let your shoulders be light and unbridled.  Set your soul free.  Let your gentleness come as rushing power carrying the needy ones upstream.  I transform.  You transform.  Though you found me in turmoil and storms, you were cleansed.  Cleansed of human prisons containing you as you sat at my shores.  Cleansed of words spoken to confine and destroy you as you sat at my shores.  You brought your children to me and purged them of fear by baptizing them in my waves.  You gave them courage and independence.  You gave them the best parts of yourself with instructions to never let others take it away.  Hear my message in ripples.  That we, all of creation, all of the divine partner with you on your journey.  May you be well.  May you be whole.  You are loved.

Grass:

My barefoot warrior never let the darkness of others dim or extinguish your light.  You illuminate.  Even as night lingers on and you are wondering where is dawn, simply illuminate Kathryn.  The braves are waiting for you in the forest, your refuge.  Beat the rhythm of your internal drum when you find them for it is a rhythm like no other.  See ya soon honey!
