And I call it nature, the symbol of my heart. It is about an undertone of animated expression. Depth that moves in the stillness of meditation. If I look at it, it disappears. But when I surrender to it, it saturates the whole of my spirit. It is a mystery, as well as an absolute. I call it nature because the spring hums to its great sound. It is a resonance, resonating to something that cannot be found. And when I draw upon it there is a sense of a fullness of being. Being present to the spaces in between. In between the leaves and trees, the planets and the stars. And I call it nature, the symbol of my heart.
