The idea of being the woods struck me again. I am one with the trees, plants, water, air that makes up these woods. And then distracted. Dealing with what I consider oddities with the ecovillage. But received a strong message, let it go, do what makes sense to you: my book, community, Earth Elders. At this point I was able to center again, becoming conscious of myself as the woods.
I saw some mushrooms growing on a dead log. The whole vibrance of death struck me. This log will decay and become life again in other plants and animals. I thought of my own death, that I really do want to be composted. No matter what we do to the body, eventually it will become another part of Earth. I would just like, like the log, to return to be a vibrant part of the Earth more quickly.
