Part of my daily routine is taking the dog for an early-morning stroll through our land. It's grounding, expansive, and nourishing. I consider it a walking meditation to help ground myself for the day.

My morning nature walk meditation was potent and beautiful this morning.

There was a clarity and an ease I've been longing for. I found it in communion with nature and I have a deep gratitude for the messages I received this morning:

Nature doesn't try to explain itself.

Nature doesn't change for those who are uncomfortable with it.

Nature is harsh, yet unapologetically honest and we still revel in it's beauty.

Nature demands respect and also nurtures us.

In nature, there is space for all - no expectations, no requirements, no labels, no hierarchy, no judgement, no blame.

Nature doesn't ruminate on the past. Nature doesn't try and predict the future. Nature is only present moment.

Nature does what it needs to care for itself.

Nature forces us to listen, adapt, reflect, show-up.

Nature gives freely, openly.

Nature sets boundaries that we respect, without question.

Nature is soft.

Nature is relentless.

Nature doesn't perform. It just is.

Nature is all of us.
