Traveling While Standing Still


Day 9 of the Soul Card Journey
with Elizabeth Crawford, of Soul's Music
Soul cards by Deborah Koff-Chapin at http://www.touchdrawing.com/

Our traveler's roots
go down deeply
into the earth,
fastened firmly there
like her sisters,
the trees.

Like them,
she knows
how to
endure.

Like them,
she nurtures
life,
with strength
sheltering
those in need of
shelter,
feeding
those who
arrive 
needing food,
giving rest
to life's many
wayfarers.

As she makes
her way,
she stops
often
to rest beneath
friendly branches,
and to
listen to
the music of
the singing trees.

Like her sisters,
the trees,
she often finds herself
traveling
the farthest
when she's standing
in one place.

Kids, I'm heading out of town right now, back tomorrow evening........
will catch up with all of you then:)
