Slow it down, speed walker. This is no race, no ribbon at the finish, walk with your grace. Walk like you dance, reflecting the depth and curiosity of your soul. Your strong bones have learned to maneuver this new body they've taken. The way you walk speaks in every language. You never take steps alone, so hold your head up, eyes to the horizon, your steps are guided by something higher~ but you still choose the pace. Don't you want to remember the way the ground feels? And the sound of your feet dancing with the Earth? I promise the voices of the birds are sweeter than the one in your head. Quiet down, bend down and get close, ear to the Earth, shhhh..... listen. Maybe you will get to hear a heartbeat that reminds you of the miracle it is be alive. Maybe you will feel the energy of sunshine on the blades of green grass, and not want to walk so fast, with such heavy feet. You see, when you step, Mother is healing you, allowing you to soak up her medicine. So slow it down, speed walker, keep a steady pace, you are no where near the journey's end. Been slowing my pace down a lot lately, especially in nature. It slows my mind, and lets me be fully present. Thanks for reading ;) follllllowww me, @dannywolf , for lots of nature and spiritually based poetry and writing! Aho
