Wild

When I go to the woods,

I discover

Tiny purple flowers,

Bird songs,

Bones.

I find equanimity,

Communion,

Calm.

When I go to the mountains,

I leave behind

Businesses,

Meetings,

Phones.

I shed expectations,

Worries,

Fears.

When I go to the wilderness,

I take

A water bottle,

Rain clothes,

Boots.

I bring resilience,

Wonder,

Joy.

When I am in the wild, I am at home.
