Long grass with paths of short grass mown through it

Long grass with paths of short grass mown through it

Avoid watering grass in dry weather. Sprinklers can use as much water in one hour as a family uses in 24 hours. And to keep grass looking good, mow less often - long grass stays green, and is a cool refuge for wildlife.

It started with a breeze in the leaves. Summer was high.

And then, I'd dropped, layer by layer, into a chasm...

Cradled at the bottom of my abyss, looking up at pinpricks of light far above, I'm pleasantly spent; consumed. It's not dark and dank, this is sanctuary!

Spire-circling crows precede me. Red kites keep watch as I journey through woods and over hills and along the valleys. I sleep in the shell of a church. How amazing to be within β€” alone β€” as bells chime. I wonder if you removed the pews, the kettle, the flowers, the camp bed, blankets you'd be immersed in the most intense sound bath. Would I melt into song? 

I take coffee in the graveyard, bare feet on dew. Sunrise steams the grass. I feel freedom as I watch bees hum among the herbs, the wind gently rocking limbs of the surrounding trees. Swallows fill the sky. I learn the lesson of nettles. Thistle's sharp beauty. I remember the connection to the land.

And here I come to rest. In the graveyard, resides a yew. It envelops the stones beneath it in a motherly embrace, and when the summer sun is setting, its limbs are warm and orange.

Words: 'Pilgrimage' by George Violet Parker 2024 (Written while walking the Golden Valley Pilgrim Way)

We are all Nature. We are all made of earth, air, fire and water. So to love Nature is to love all living beings and all things. Love is to accept life as it comes, warts and all, with total equanimity. Love, then, is also letting go of fear. Love is to drop all expectations and just participate in life as it unfolds. We experience transformation through dialogue, compassion and. communication. As the poet Rumi said, there is a field out beyond ideas of-wrongdoing and rightdoing β€” beyond us and them and beyond criticism and complaints. Lovers meet in that field of love. Love makes us magnanimous. We shift from self-interest to mutual and common interests. Love breeds generosity and magnanimity. When we love Nature, we love everyone. and everything. We love every moment of our lives.

We live in a huge housing estate on the edge of a busy town. However, corridors of trees that weave their way through the estate remain, and we live a short walk from one of these corridors. I cannot stretch to call these areas woodland as they are not really big enough for such a title, but they are big enough that you feel you are amongst the trees. This is not the fairy tale imaginings of being fully immersed in nature, as the signature of humanity is all around, but the daily walk amongst these trees has become a place to breathe; to replace a view of roofs with a canopy of leaves. Although the roads can still be heard, there is a peace that can only be found where the trees shield us from reality for a little while. I go there to feel soil under my feet rather than concrete, to touch bark rather than metal, to breathe in oxygen rather than fumes. I am so grateful for this piece of respite that I can escape to whenever I need. The trees silently gift us this, despite the encroachment of humans in every direction.

There is great space around me, an opening into a new dimension of being. 

We are remembering, re-making ourselves, despite the winds of chaos that blow. We are re-building the Light that we are. Sun breaking through. 

We are remembering the life that we were born to live, as we set ourselves free. 

I bend down to touch this flower, small and white and open, which holds a tiny drop of dew, glinting in the morning sunshine. It is all promise. 

I wipe my eyes with dew. 
I carry it inside myself, in my heart, in my brow, in my song. I am beating my heartbeat out into the garden, into the world, and the sky is hearing me.

I hum to the land, to the trees, plants and waters... and words come through me. I am giving my heart. I am receiving through my heart. It is a different kind of conversation...

Let the small plant growing wild and brave in the dry rock sing to you of great movements of tectonic plates, of the heaving of the earth in birth of continents.  

Let the small plant growing free tell you a story of fire and flood and rivers of fire. Of the way they created quartz and feldspar and granite, laid down in sparkling layers of rock.

Let the small plant tell of her root tendrils, nourished by rich minerals borne of aboriginal starfire.
