Feet soaking up the heat
lavender toes
sun glistening
birds singing
surrounded by trees, a chair, a stack of books
Freedom from shoes and socks
flip-flops resting by the door
The intensity when the energy
simultaneously surges upward
yet grounds and roots
connecting me to the earth
The ancients footfalls echo underneath me
pulling, comforting aftershocks of fire and dance
securing the tie to all who walked here before
and to all those who will walk in the future
On the same ground
I walk a different path
but I know our hearts are the same
our truth of love is the same
we do the best we can
In a flap of a butterflies wing
the simple flutter of the leaves
the buzz of the bee and the child’s laugh
once again it becomes clear
we are one…barefoot
