Earth

It has been awhile since we have made it out on our hiking trails. And I am really starting to feel it, I need it. Mel has been working a lot lately, so just has no spare time. He has not taken a day off since Christmas. And well not seeing an end in sight to that anytime soon. He loves to keep busy, busy.
I on the other hand, I need that time with the earth. I crave it, and with it being winter there is no gardening to be done. So not gonna get it at home. To sit on the cold dirt and listen to the wind in the trees, the water in the creek, feel the breeze move my hair. It empowers me and soothes me all at once. There is no other feeling in this world that compares. Winter is not my favorite season, you dont get all the senses while out, but I still love to go.
I want to put my feet in the creek and play in the dirt, watch the animals graze, and just be. It is my sanctuary, my church if you want to call it that. And to be away from it too long, leaves me just feeling empty and longing.
