Inhale Nature, Exhale Love

Meditating these past few days have helped me renew my deep love and passion for nature. It starts with listening to my own breath, and feeling my heart beat gently in my chest. My engine that chugs, my fuel is what I give it, my love for me is how I maintain this little machine nature created.

While meditating I focus inwardly, yet vastly. I see myself, my life - remember the childhood and years passed, being in the present and sending intentions for the future; receiving the universe in its infinite-ness, I open my mind and heart to all.

Meditation complete, I open my eyes, and the world seems fresh, as though the monsoons have washed the world clean, and here I am to prance about in its fresh, squeaky clean newness! The leaves, the birds, the children laughing, everything feels good. Even the nuisances sound like a music in a different tone and melody. It hits me, I feel it and I let it go. It is the world, it is all nature.

I see the leaves on the branches of the great oak sway in the breeze. I am mesmerized. I realize how fascinating such a simple thing can be. I feel it.

I run, I run slowly, but mindfully. Running, feeling the wind in my hair, the earth under my feet, and the smells, and noises that fill the world. I feel the people. I feel the sweat roll down my forehead, neck and back. I enjoy the motion, and what it is doing for my health. I am mindful of how my body moves, and my feet fall, the natural biomechanics of it all, relearning the correct movements. I feel love, and smile. I breathe and run. It's a meditation in motion with the world!

This is me. I love me. This is the world, I love. This is life, I love. This is the nature, I love - forever present.

Breathe!
