As I Walk, I Am

The Earth is my home,
Her folage brings softness and beauty, and
     provides the breath of life.
Everything about her brings attention
     to divine beginning.

My footsteps touch her peacefully,
     and I know.
My eyes gently focus on
     everything and nothing
     and I see.
My mind is quiet and free of worry,
     and it refreshes me.
My breath flows soflty in and out,
     and my senses are heightened.
My body is fully alive as I fully experience  
     my wholeness and the 
     marvelous nature of each footstep.
My awareness is expanded 
     and I honor and acknowledge the presence 
     within me.  
My being merges with all that is and   
     I am at home. 
My totality celebrates life,  
     Creation is part of me 
     and I am part of Her.  
As I walk, I am.
