A walk in the wild woods reminds me of home

There is a spirit within all things 
That speaks to the mind open and alive 
Listen for the silent heartbeat of the wildest, truest friend 
There is a wisdom that connects beyond all form 
Expressing universality, oneness, clarity 
Expanding, dismissing what was previously reason 
Tittle tattle dropped to forest floor, trodden under sole and passed away 
Ease of living, unquestionable, obvious 
Decisions shown through lightness, darkness, doors open or closed 
Seen clearly in the hallways of the mind 
Clarity cuts through impossibility 
Gives me to its presence, gratefully encompassing the whole

I am grateful, my deepest love, that I have now heard your call 
Spoken through all things natural and alive 
I am here now, I am open, I receive you 
Let your loving wisdom be the rhythm of my day and night 
Bringing me, each instant, to the perfect timelessness of now 
Your sanctity and peace become the only pathway that my mind remembers 
The natural world: no more or less of matter to its form 
But simply less obstruction to the truth that lies beyond 
No complicated mind imposed to stand between itself 
And the intrinsic perfection of its present reality 
You who know your perfect wholeness, 
Teach me how to know myself as you
