I step forward, reaching with my foot.
I set it down gently and feel the rock meet my skin.
With my eyes closed, I can feel the rock become a part of me.
Not like an attachment in my body but becoming part of my awareness.

I step again and feel the change of the surface below my feet.
Softer, more bouncy like forest duff, I resist the urge to open my eyes.
I want to feel the world beyond my visual senses.

This is the process of integration. Experiencing the connection.
The other senses kick in.

I can smell the forest musk.
Incredible messengers of local flora and fauna telling the story of time and process.
A drip and a creak as the moss sings a green song.

I open my eyes.
I am actually standing in my front yard.
Urban-ania. This is not the forest.
A car races by. And then another. The world is in such a hurry.
Is this the human race?
And where are we racing to?
What is the prize?+++
