Still Yet Moving

Joshua reads "Still, Yet Moving" and Jasmine reads "Your Life Tree". In this episode, they share how nature is both a restorative experience and a role model.

The dew has not dropped

The fog is thick

The wolves are sprinkling

The chilly air gently tickles my skin

For a fraction of time

My worry is forgotten

My work brain and screen tapping are left behind

As I wipe off crusty eyes and stiff muscles

The smell of sea

The squawking seagull lullaby

The sound of waves kissing big boulders

The flabbergasted dogs with their balls

It’s as if an hourglass is turned on its side

A brief one hundred twenty minutes pause of the spinning wheel

As sweat drips onto my bluetooth ear pieces 

As the molecules in me are invigorated and feet meet most sand gravel

I am finally centered

As runny nose greets me on the road

As ship horns and sea lions say hello

I stay in silence

As fishermen brave the cold since five a.m

As some daredevils brave the current of Golden Gate

I fight off anxiety and worrisome

Because eventually we are mere dirt

And earth is our home

That’s where eternal peace and consolation lies

That’s where the best remedy comes from

And that’s where we feel most alive
