The Rooted Rock

In my younger life I dismissed nature, I thought it was there for me to just enjoy and use. Rocks and sand and mountains and things like the grand canyon were interesting to me but I definately believed them to be inanimate certainly not realizing the capacity and importance of the so called inanimate. Maybe in my forties was taking a walk and saw some trees laying on the ground, it invoked in me a sort of sadness like it had lived and now was dying. After that I began too look at all of nature differently, I wondered as I walked about rocks and pebbles. This was a beautiful meditation that as you would say helped me to connect withthe slow deep life of our earth. Thank you
