The way is in knowing...
The way is in this way of knowing...
Sunshine...
coyote runs towards us at sunrise
Barefoot...
Touching earth...gazing at our daybreak
Mindfullness...
Our days are now full of this
wonderlust...
Questions...
Hearts searching our thoughts like seasons
Comfort...
Warm blanket wrapped around our
timelessness...
Presence...
You and I are never really far away
Breathing...
We catch a sense of our
awareness...
Caressing...
You and I will always feel this way of
Knowing...
