Clearing

When we walk through a forest, sometimes over rocks and boulders, muddy trails, tree roots tripping our feet, we keep going. Moving forward one foot in front of the other. A moment comes and our mind begins to clear, we see the moss and ferns, notice the birds chirping and the sun flickering through the leaves. The smell of dewey pine on the forest carpet. Earthy and vibrant, waking our senses.  Our internal spaces are opening, relaxation becomes our catalyst to keep moving. Up ahead there is a great green grassy field, open space as far as the eye can see. We know this clearing, we have been there before.  Continuing on our travel, as our inner spaces begin to clear, we notice the open field just within the horizon. We continue; breathing in, breathing out. One step at a time, freeing our spirit. Arriving at the clearing, our mind is free, body relaxed, all our spaces open to the vastness. Our internal world opens up and we are one with the universal expansiveness of oneness. Traveling through the forest, opening on the inside, we arrive and accept the outside, knowing there is always a clearing just ahead on our path.

Cheers!
