And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.
-- from The Collected Poems of Wendell Berry, 1957
Going back to our Roots:
Awe & Wonder
Reconnected
Feel the Ground
Beneath your feet
This is your home
Welcome back
Take a deep breath
Hold it for a moment
Breathe in the gift of life
The gift of love
The gift of creation
Hold it for a few seconds
Let it sit
In your Spirit, Heart, Mind, and Body
Let this temporary residence
Remind you of your need
Of this gift and all Life’s gifts
Given to us each night and day
Stand up, exhale the gift you have been given
This gift of life and love
Circulating in your body
Fertilizing your own living dirt.
