20
I have now stepped into adulthood. I for the most part felt my soul was already here, but now my age has caught up. my teen years were, to say the least, tumultuous. I’ve been through so many changes and turmoils and tempests that to say I have finally made it to 20 is like giving an Olympian her/his gold medal. yes it is just a number, but it symbolizes the number of years I have resided on earth, felt it’s rays of sun across my face, laid across it’s soft soil, and let it’s beautiful drops of rain soak into my soul. I am in every way connected to this earth, in mind, body, and soul. for 20 years I’ve searched for my path, but it wasn’t until I reached my lowest of lows that I found it in this very earth. every time the sun sets in beautiful shades of orange and red I’m reminded that I am born of my earthmother. she watches over me and assures me that she is protecting my soul. every piece of her beauty nourishes me, keeping my soul alive, healthy, and connected. I feel her in most deepest inner parts, in my smallest of cells. everything I am is summed up in her majesty. for 20 years I have been her earthchild.
dear lord! it’s raining so hard, I’ll bet it’s leaking through my AC. it looks so beautiful on the window though.
