I had a desperate calling to reconnect with nature. This is the kind of calling that prioritizes putting your toes in the sand, swimming to the middle of inlets and gazing at water and mountains for hours at a time searching for the truth.
Within this meditative analog state I could be whole again, complete in a way that computers and digital advances can’t imitate. This is the kind of wholeness I was searching for, the calm abiding peace hidden within us all. A peace that supersedes egos, fears and borders.
As the wind blew through the juniper branches caressing my face I could hear the song of the raven, Its poetic phrasing enlightening my senses and reminding me to be present, perceptive and open.
