lush jade tropical oasis opens its portals
It's been pretty darn steamy and humid here 
so I love this ... Attunement

Together our eyes rest on the frog green 
bulrush stalks shooting up from 
the edge of the gully
diving into refreshing shades 
mint, turquoise, parakeet,
filtered silver light, amber browns, pink lichen 

A cool feeling pervades our spirit 
we allow ourselves to be swept away 
from red hot lava pavements
into dense dark yin recesses 
of our mini Florida jungle
David tells me they actually prescribe
Forest bathing medicinally in Japan

Shamans of the forest
Healing hands of our 
tree brothers and sisters
ozone breath
soft earth shadows 
kindly touch our bodies

Elder pine's deep emerald gaze
Bestows a benediction:
