.

Close your eyes and take a ride with me,

Lie flat on the back of a charging horse.

 

Get naked and weave yourself into the tall grass.

 

Take a walk around the block with only your daydreams for company.

 

Interlocking fingers with Mother Earth, let your mouth hang open.

Breathe in the night sky,

 

Fall in love with the winds of spring.

 

Touch knees with an old friend,

Palms with a stranger.

 

Blow on embers,

Gasp in flames.

Set fire to your thoughts and revel in the ashes;

Keep your mind in a constant conversion.

 

Move to the rhythm of earthquakes.

Let your Earth shake and take it all in stride.

 

With your arms limp

sway in the moon light

accept the things you don't know

and forget the things you wish you didn't

 

Be born of the earth again

Covered in dirt and pine needles

Find your long lost love of simplicity.
