Earth’s Heart Space

In this place, In this space...
We sense the Spirit of our Mother Earth -
She speaks to us in the silent language of ancient stones
Standing still and serene while crystal memories
Scatter reflections of light's long journey.
She whispers to us in the language of quaking aspen,
Standing tall and sturdy on mountain's lofty edge,
sifting winds of time through harp-string branches.

In this place. In this space...
We experience the essence of our Mother Earth -
Her soil guarded by gnarled roots of stately sentinel pines;
Her garment a robe of sage threaded with floral rainbows;
Her perfume the sweet scents of grasses and herbs;
Her body fluids bubbling up with spring waters.

In this place, In this space...
We feel the heartbeat of our Mother Earth -
Our own hearts thumping with hooves of antelope and deer
Our own hearts running with the rhythm of life's cycles

In this place. In this space...
We feel the love of our Mother Earth -
We feel her power; We inhale her strength
Her energies of creation and re-generation surround us.

In this place. In this space...
We enter Earth’s Heart Space -
We become one with Earth, our Mother
And We become one with Ourselves...
