Layers and Layers of Love


 Layers and Layers of Love

Trees covered with snow and rime,
though rigid,
have a downy softness
and speak of movement.
Low clouds in the valley
swirl slowly, expand,
and gently rise.
My attention widens,
 breath quickens
at the velvety striations
that stretch before me.
I breathe more slowly and deeply,
seemingly merge
with the substance, the essence
of what I see.
And then there’s Light,
right there in the layers,
right there in me.
My flow, my substance,
my essence,
my layers and layers
of Love.
I smile,
point my skis
down the trail,
and fly.

  1. Sarah, I *really* admire your journey - your awareness and willingness to *be* aware of your feelings. I love your reflections on how nature helps you to move through them. It inspires and encourages me to continue to find my own path of healing, to wholeness. So thank you for another lovely post! :)
