The wind came in my office window like a blessing. It made
me realize how much I like incarnation. The touch of the cool breeze on my skin
opened my heart and brought tears. It felt like a baptism into the world as
both body and soul. Awakened to Spirit through my body, I know myself to be the
meeting place of heaven and Earth.
On some level I knew this, but this morning I truly felt it,
Nature and Spirit working together to gather me into the fold. I know it is
truly all one, and yet it feels like a dance between them. The dance is within
us and all of creation. The dream born of this dance is brought to life through
us. We give our bodies and souls to it and find we are one.
I don’t need grand vistas and awesome beauty to feel the
blessing Nature, of Life. A single leaf floating to the ground in the light of
the setting sun, the flutter of sparrow wings as it alights on a branch, the
touch of the wind on my skin all speak to me, all bring life home to me as much
as my own heart beat and the love that resides there.
This body is a gift. It’s more than a temple. It’s the
hearth of my soul. It’s where I can touch Spirit and know I am holy as an
embodied being. Living life at the edge of creation is an experience I cherish
now more than ever. I give thanks to Nature for Her touch. I give thanks to
Spirit for expressing as me. I am in the world as well as of it. I am born into
flesh. And flesh is Spirit in form. I am as close to the Divine now as I could
be. Blessed by all the elements, I embrace my existence as sacred and whole as
I walk upon holy ground.
