Walk beneath the tall trees Tara,  
and listen quietly to the wind;
hear song birds call and squirrels chatter,
echoing their love of life
among dappled foliage and darkened branches.
Watch the shadows creep upon the forest floor
and step lightly in soft bare feet among the ferns...

Look: I've put a stop to time, my love,
for we're in a sacred place together.
Here nature freely pours her bounty
upon hillsides and deep into shaded valleys...
Yes, take a drink from a gurgling stream –
let the cool clear water slip between your fingers –
and pause along the shore of a glacial lake;
let the haunting call of a loon
enter your softly beating heart.
Put your hands through small wavelets
lapping upon slabs of broken shale
and turn your beautiful face to the sky:
see the endless shapes of endless dreams
within fluffy white clouds passing by.

Reflect under the power of the afternoon sun
and let its rays cleanse your soft brown skin
of the cancerous impact of the city:
Thank you for sharing with me this day
so freely given from a beautiful Earth, Tara.
