Bare winter branches
bow to frigid winds.
Chimes chant prayers.
Summer’s hydrangea stalks
rattle sun-drenched thoughts
that skitter past frozen ferns.
Cardinals are scarlet sentinels
on dogwood’s silver branches
etched into winter’s brocade.
Yet, at the foot of wintry poplars
snow drops feel the call
of coming solar warmth.
Let’s celebrate new and ancient rituals to honor the rhythmic cycles of earth and our fellow earthlings. As we dive into the cardinal elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether, as well as nature’s realms ~ Minerals, Plants, Animals, Humans and Unseen Beings ~ we also rekindle their wild and essential nature within our own being. In this way we deepen these primal relationships.
Join me and LifeWays for a deep dive into Kinship with Nature is a Family Affair. In this video is your personal invitation; I’d love to take this journey with you!
