Back from a family camping weekend to one of my favorite places on Earth, this nature jewel holds a very special place in my heart. It started as a lover’s getaway, to my parents eventually joining to then my sister and my 2-year-old goddaughter, also making their way here! A place to share. To feel, play, breathe, relax, laugh, adventure and especially, to remember.
○ Remember our relationship to Nature.
○ Remember the wisdom of Mother Earth.
○ Remember how she so generously supports our nervous system.
○ Remember what it feels like, the effect she has on our overall well-being.
○ Remember the beauty and natural spectacle she offers so freely.
○ Remember to sync with her. As we are nature.
Gaïa remains my primary teacher. And so, I listen, I open up my senses and heart, I patiently wait to receive some insights from her. She always finds her way to me.
This time around, it was very clear what she wanted me to experience: “Mama Earth’s natural clock is the way.”
For three nights and mornings, I became totally in sync with her clock.
In the evenings, around the campfire, I was dozing off by 8pm. My body feeling the darkness, the invitation to retreat in bed.
In the mornings, I would awake by the singing of birds, the chirping of squirrels.
I did not resist.
I welcomed this way.
And it was so tasty.
I came every morning before sunrise on my mermaid rock. Feeling energized, regenerated from such an early good night sleep. I contemplated, meditated, and admired the view. Reading a few pages of my inspiring book. Starting slow, slow, slow, and deeply present with myself and nature.
Autumn Dream, this season, I will honour my sleep, my natural clock. I will let Mama Earth remind me of such importance. She knows the way. I remember. I am nature.
And so,
The evenings shortened
The mornings elongated
And she felt so well and at peace…
