Connected to the Earth
Feet on the ground
Heels in the grass
Toes in the dirt
Awareness stretching outward
Pushing my arms up to the sky
Muscles stretch
Joints straighten
Spine extends
Connecting myself to what is around me
The sensation of sun on my skin
Radiant and cleansing I lift my face to it
I welcome its warmth
The feel of a swift breeze
Carrying my heavy body closer to the clouds
Becoming weightless and submissive
I will go where it goes and travel where it travels
The energy of a storm
Dancing across my skin like the currents of a wave
My body embraces
Chest expanding
Heart opening
Spirit grasping
Lungs drinking in its freedom and weight
I am both empowered and humbled
By God’s creating hand
Proud to be a descendant of the earth

You know that feeling when you're standing outside looking at the storm clouds hanging above your head? It hasn't started to rain yet, the sky is crowded but looks infinite and powerful and you just want to fall into it? The wind is blowing and the leaves are brushing together and the branches of the tree in your front yard are bending with the anticipation of rain, it's almost there but that small moment before everything breaks apart is yours and you just feel so full standing there, so tiny and insignificant but full and excited. That's the best feeling in the whole world.
