Searching For Something

[Whyteferret]

Searching for something I don't even know what. Meaning? Purpose? Hope?
I spent some time alone running in the woods today. I finally felt a sense of peace. It connected me to earth, air, fire, water, spirit. Fire transforms us. Air moves us. Water shapes us. Earth heals us. Spirit guides us.

It was a great chant. It reminded me of connection and hope of peace.
All these qualities are needed. But, it takes time. Too much, too soon can harm. Waters can flood. Fire can burn. Earth can fall. Air can be a storm. Too strong, too much, too fast.
I'm impatient. But I must allow these changes to be gradual.

It's sad. My peace lasted until I had to come home. I can't run forever.

Each time you're out there, though, you will find your connection more quickly, and it will stay with you longer. That's how it feels to me, anyway. :)

Last night as I was walking the dog, I realized that I now feel more at home outside my home, whether in the woods or under the stars.
