The Healing Power of Earth

 
She creeps into our quiet musings with a healing sympathy before we are even aware of her presence.



















A Silent Scream
 
 











 I bathed my face in the cool mountain water
I could see in the clear water
A mirrored reflection
Deep inside my soul
A wound that had not healed
I walked further into the stream
Washed myself with the water of life
I screamed a silent scream
That came from deep within my body
I fell face first into the stream
When i thought all was lost
The water of life restored my soul

This is beautiful. The silent scream, and then the awareness.
Perhaps the release is needed.
Like tears, so cleansing. Water is very healing!
