Well Spring

Nourished.

At the base of the mountain
Near the river
On my knees 
In the grass

The smell of earth in my nose
The sunlight bathing my skin
The rush of the river in my ears
The cool, dampness under my legs

This is where I belong. 
This is me.
Here I am completely free.

To be beautiful.
Without judgement.

To feel it all
Without effort.

Complete reverence 
For our mother.
In community with the 
Earth Divas.

I drink the feeling into my heart
Knowing it will have to last 
Another year.
Or two.

Even now I can dip into the
Spring inside my heart
And be nourished.
