I am here.
With dancing restios
and Mimetes kisses.
The grassbird and the fork tailed drongo.
With a galaxy of raindrops
glistening on the barrier above.
Reflecting a rainbow of colors
as the morning wind blows.

I am here.
With the sun and the rain.
The wind and her cloud.
The soil, rock and streams.

I am here as I am.
Everything just as it is.
Flowing with the twists and turns,
bends and breaks.
The ups, downs, highs and lows,
the density and the spaciousness.
Surrendering to nature’s way.
Allowing space and giving all beings grace.

As I slow, I breathe deeply.
As I quicken, so does the breath.
A reminder…to watch my breath.

If I look behind, I fall.
If I look ahead, I stumble.
Keeping my eyes just 1,2,3 steps ahead of me
is the way I see it must be.

I ask myself
Can I do this?
Yes, yes
I know I can.
Take each moment
slowly, slowly.
Gently, gently.

I am here. Here I am.
