Finding Home...

On Wednesday I woke with anxiety sitting on my chest

deep panicking anxiety 

As I walk through the unsual suspects

that bring me here

I decided to transcend them all 

I decided to not

"try to make sense of it"

I decided  that instead

I needed to medicate it

tend to it

love on it

give to it.

So

after I permed my moms hair that morning

I grabbed the dog, my camera,

got into the truck

and drove to where 

I was being called.

I am blessed to live in a area that offers

Mother Earths finest wears.

Ocean

Forest

Lakes

Feilds

River

Creeks

Meadows

and 

Mountains

Today it was them that called

The Mountains behind my home...    

I needed the cold mountain air

to caress my skin

I needed to fill my lungs with  

the medicine it gives.

I needed to feast my eyes

on the majesting of the snow capped giants

I needed to be away from the human noise

and be enveloped in Natures Love.

We are still in the dull of winter

though the signs of Spring

can be found

Ducks and Snow Geese

are getting ready

to nest and bring new life.

Hawks fly close to the wet lands

looking for their daily bread.

Seagulls and Red Winged Black birds

search for a place to nest.

The great water shivers

as mountain winds caress

snow can still be found

high on the alpine line

great trees stand by the thousands

housing bear, deer and wolf

All of the beauty

which remains with or without me

Yet it gives to me

feeds me

medicates me

stills my troubles mind

expels the anxiety

that clung to me for dear life

This place is my Healing Balm

the place in which I touch God

and God touches me

I offered my gift

from my own medicine pouch

and in return

was given back a stone

to remember this healing

to remember the abundance that is

And the joy of my eager companion

makes me laugh out loud

guides me back to center

brings me back to Home

A couple hours of direct treatment

and I was brought back to holy health

Grateful am I

for the Abundance that is

Grateful am I 

for the Love that is

Grateful I am

for Good Medicine received

   Grateful I am

 to be back Home

once again 

may you find yourself Home this weekend

my lovelies

Love and Light
