I Am

I am Nature,

My mind, body and soul sores in welcoming anticipation at what I will sense

and experiences when I enter Natures space.

I feel a calmness, a stillness that comes as natural as Nature itself.

To the birds that share their songs, the animals that are silently lurking, watching.

To the abundant plants and trees that share their own stillness and wisdom to the observing visitor.

My awareness is heightened to the surroundings I experience in the forests, the mountains, the colorful wildflowers that adorn the grassy alpine meadows, and the clear shimmering mountain lakes that awakens my Being in these wild places we call Nature.

I am Air,

With each deep breath I take in Nature, my lungs fill with the cleansing of fresh scented air of the plants and trees and the inner connection to all life.

I am Water,

From frozen to liquid, the waters flow with life in the springs, creeks and streams taking their paths from their source in the high mountains downward eventually feeding the rivers and oceans, serving life everywhere it touches.

Water is the life blood of all life from the plants and trees to the wildlife, to the life of man, woman and child. When I sip from this sacred source of life I feel connected to all things.

I am Land,

The land gives me a solid platform to travel to the magical and wondrous places Nature provides.

The land can change from moment to moment, from high deserts, to forests and woodlands, to alpine meadows and lakes surrounded by majestic mountain peaks, to grasslands that seems to go on forever in ones eyes. The land provides a place for awe, wonder and reflections. It is my church where I show my deepest reverence for the Earth and to all life.

I am Fire,

Fire that brings life and death to it’s door with no uncertain terms. Fire is nature, nature is fire. I bring the highest respect to this element that cooks my food, gives me light and comfort and provides me with it’s warmth, with the sound of the crackling fire, and the wonderful scent of the burning wood that is soothing to my soul.

I am Stillness,

I am the stillness Nature teaches me, the stillness and wisdom she brings to my Being, the silence and inner peace when I listen in silence. The plants, the trees, the wildflowers or a single blade of grass all share the life energy all life shares in Nature, and on our planet and in our universe.

I am One With All Life,

The long winter closes and I look forward to with the opening of new buds on the trees and plants, the spring flowers will soon come sharing their bright colored blossoms, giving the eye a pallet of colors to behold.

And the new born animals, the creation of life, begins the experiences of this world for the first time with their Mother always close-by, teaching them, nurturing them and protecting them.

The beginning of a new cycle of life. Each season brings change, brings new life and brings death.

I am the relationship with the air, the water, the land, the fire, the plants and trees, and the animals.

I AM ALL THAT IS

I AM LIFE, I am One with all of Creation.
