“Keep close to nature’s heart….and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain
or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”
John Muir
Our most sacred spaces were never meant to be broken
as if glass could shatter,
becoming even smaller
versions of ourselves,
barely remembering
the wholeness of the forest
and who it was,
that made the Earth.
