When nature extends
its roots up our spine,
Cradles our bellies,
Grows into our nervous system,
Pulsates throughout our blood stream,
Massages itself into the heart muscle,
Flows into our brain,
Spreads across the surface of our skin,
Our body is being deeply rooted
and expanded
as the Tree of Life.
All the inner branches are bursting
into vibrant green leaf.
Our body is finally loved and protected.
A natural gentle dignity
and authority arises.
A deep bow
to all the inner creatures.
They gather quietly.
Around this tree.
Paying their respect.
They bow back.
A circle of mutual respect.
An inner ecosystem in harmony.
