Wait, Mother Nature Has a Few Words for You Too

By Mayah Pico

everything becomes intentional when you live amongst the trees

harmony becomes a necessity

the clouds and roots deliver the news

the body adorned in paint made from fruit

death is never too far away

so the beauty of life is held in its rightful light

sacrificing self to the elements

in hopes that the next harvest will come on time

they ask us to take a step into nature

to consider that...

only by mother earth’s guidance may our world be made right

only through deep connection may we reach true insights

yet knowledge is not meant to be taken

How do you expect that knowledge to awaken on your day-to-day basis without the proper wisdom accompanying it?

there is no cheat code for being tuned in

it will take time and effort emerging from within

and a devotion to the flora and fauna –our sacred earthly kin
