IDYLL WILD
We initiated this traversing of the ocean from a longing to reinvigorate our connection to each other and ourselves. This immersion into new elements, this physical exposing to the cold showed us the shivery places of our hearts that needed to be draped with a blanket of love. The landscape seemed to mirror something within us — rugged, tender, expansive, alive. In surrendering to these elements, we found ourselves softened, more able to listen, more able to hold one another with care. Idyllwild, you helped us to embrace and release, by crossing your ridge, we crossed a relational threshold. Thank you for your wise playful beauty.
Supple as melting ice,
The sun has settled in your chest
Let the earth touch you
Be a tree
Your unadorned soles will remember how deep its roots grow
Now that you have tasted the summit in the stream, Can you be the rolling rock, finding stillness
on the mountain slide?
