It Is Possible...

It is possibleto become so one with Earth that every flower perfumes the soul,
every snowflake sends icy softness dancing through veins,
every drop of rain trickles down vesselsof the heart,
every cloud in the skysails alongsonglines of the spirit,
every earthquakerumbles in the gut
every tide of the seamoves in and out of self...

It is possible to become one with Earth
just as it is possibleto become one with all people,
their pain, my pain, their joy, my joy, their struggle and delight an echo of my own.
It is possible to become one.
It is possible!
