Into Something Better June

Sleeping In The Forest by Mary Oliver

I thought the earth remembered me, she
took me back so tenderly, arranging
her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds. I slept
as never before, a stone
on the riverbed, nothing
between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated
light as moths among the branches
of the perfect trees. All night
I heard the small kingdoms breathing
around me, the insects, and the birds
who do their work in the darkness. All night
I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling
with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.


We as a group of artist mothers from all over the world are making it our priority to turn off the tv/video games so that we can give our children the sacred experience to connect with the fast disappearing natural world. We will freelens our adventures into the wild and share them through this monthly project.

You and I spend early mornings as the sun rises and evenings as the sun fades together almost every day.  The day the sun stood still at it's highest point, summer solstice, I lay in the grass watching you chase dragonflies and moths.  Our place where the sky is so wide and blue, and you have run countless times through the the grasses we have called "the field of light." 

 now please follow our circle around to see all the beauty in nature freelensed around the world. Next up is Nadia Stone http://www.nadiastonephotography.com/into-something-b…circle-june-2017
