Syncing Rhythm

This picture was taken in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at Mammoth, California. It is one of my favorite places to be. The following words came to me in February, nestled in the pines.

Mother. Mother Nature

One with the trees, where my nerves feel free.

A hum of warmth beaming,

from the trunks like body heat.

It is body heat, the most natural, mothering source.

I feel the calm, the silent, radiant force.

All is said that needs to be understood.

A complete love & gratitude, more than I ever could.

A holding space... for each other.

A connection... as one.

I hear you, Mother.

Over the winter season, I honored what I felt naturally and became quiet just like the Earth. No pressure for performance, but to remain present. Amidst the swirl of holiday expectations and a schedule slightly shifted, I stayed with the rhythm of the Earth. During the winter season, nature pauses and rests. It's like it holds its energy close, remains present, but just listens. No impulsive reactivity, just consciousness, just breath. My intentions are to remain in my truth and honor what feels natural. I understand there will be noise, glitter, and busyness at times. No need for validation here but self-respect. In any season, I choose the voice within so that I can be present and authentic for others.

Now spring is here, and nature is waking up and becoming. Honestly, energy is arising within me too. Do you feel an internal rhythm when taking the time to pause and listen to yourself (instead of what is being streamed, influenced, or sold)? How about each morning (for a couple of minutes or however long you need) try to honor your tune. Take in a few deep breaths and witness your own harmony. This is something that you can do throughout the day and before going to bed... and also in the seasons.

With love,
