Spellbound

once again i have fallen prey

to the spell of nature

bewitched by its stunning visual beauty

my soul is sucked in

smitten

like a cork bobbing on the surface

but held captive by the throes

of a mighty whitewater rapids


it’s my source, my balm, my healer

i cave in to its demands

i am weak, i let go

melting into a pool

of liquid crimson wax

helpless beside the heat of the flame


i am putty in its hands.

great basin national park,
eastern nevada)

little by little.

can't wait to see what you have all been up to!!
meantime, i will also be going back into retreat-planning mode,

  4. dear Patty-we are SO in sync it's actually kind of scary!! The way you write about nature is EXACTLY the way I feel! Seriously! I commune with nature on a daily basis-talk to trees, thank the grass, pay homage to flowers and...the SKY and black earth leave me trembling. I don't often tell others about these things because, well...they already think I am a little uh.."out there!!" I love your pics-I am glad you had a wonder-FULL journey to fill your heart and soul. You are going to LOVE the book Broken Open BTW. It is an amazing read. I simply devoured it. Hugs xxx
