Mama...this is how you make me feel

(random musings on a morning walk)

It's moments like these when I am surrounded by such beauty and awe...

That I wish that I could give something back. As thanks. A thank you for this experience, Nature. Thank you, Mother earth.

And then I remember I can.

I can gift you music.

I can gift you dance.

I offer yourself back to you in the forms of rose petals, tobacco, and sage. I can show you my hopes in the smoke that I burn. So that you can know a little bit of how you make me feel.

Mama this is how you make me feel.
