How to Walk with Nature
Begin with a shoulder shake
3 breathes, and linger with the word nature
Walk and find a place
Where you safely stand
With quiet unfolding
with realization of what is here, there
with the willingness to integrate
with appreciation of the diversity
with the seasons, the weather
with integrity to commitment made
with vitality to self-concept
with stick-to-it-ness
with awareness
with the presence of earth, air, water, and fire
When you decide to move
Close with a stretch, a yawn
And wiggle your toes,
Return with thanks for this existence
Alternatively, from the comfort of a chair, imagine your Walk with Nature to a place like this:
