For you Beverley -

‘Let the beauty we love

Be what we do

There are a hundred ways

To kneel and kiss the ground’

- Kabir

Thank you so much Patty. I'm very new here but enjoying the threads of connection with kindred spirits.

This is what I remembered as I read this post.

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

I’ve just done some movement on the floor as if my body is kissing the Earth, with the late afternoon sunlight pouring from the window. I love and I’m loved!

Thank you for these reflections, Linda. There is something coming up for me about how humanity ‘touches’ the Earth, how there seems so little lightness, respect and care in the dominant way of being. It’s all very ‘heavy-handed’ - the grasping, the taking, the wrenching, the fist. Much to consider and much to hope for. X

Beautiful, Linda. Thank you so much. The wisdom of your years of practice and sharing shines here in the delightful weave of sensitive inquiry and science. I'm so happy you are on Substack.
