He is jealous for me

It’s simple but so important to take your boots off once in awhile and just feel the Earth under your feet. Or see how long you can hold your hand in an ice cold stream. Makes ya feel connected and alive. Sort of in the way of how breathing is the centeredness of life.

It’s interesting how I was never taught things like that as a kid. How if you’re feeling off kilter to focus on your breath, the inhale and exhale, how that is the basis of life. The same seems true of a stream. When your hand is feeling numb from the cold of melted snow that came off the top of a mountain, that once was a snowflake that landed there months ago, that once was a drop of water in a lake…you can’t help but feel centered.
