Echo of the Earth
This post is my contribution to Debbie’s Forgiving Friday. If you like to participate, please click the link.
Let me –
Embrace stillness as ocean reflects the light in the night
Endure suffering as stones engraved with strikes
Remember kindness as dried field once flooded with rain
Forgive myself as melted snow came and drained
Die to the desire as leaves wither and return to earth
Open to new life as seeds rise up in spring search
Be content the humility as blossoms unfold the new beginning
Acknowledge the limitation as ants crawl on ground feeding
Take courage in independence like the trees stand-alone
Treasure the caring as mothers secure and protect their own
Be grateful for the freedom as the eagle soars high in the sky
The Earth and I.
Great post! I love the Columbia River Gorge up through Hood River.

Yes, earthquake is scary. I’ve gone through one major one in 1987. I was taking by baby to the sitter. I felt as if I had a flat tire, so I stopped the car, and saw a girl across the street crying. She must be frighten by the movement of the ground. My sitter’s street had all broken chimneys. My house was in a new community miles away from the quake center. Another one was mild but close to my home. Hadd minor damage! I wouldn’t want to live in hurricane, tornado zones either!
