Who Are We?

Contributed by Gretchen Volenik

When you sit with your cat, Work in your garden or lean on a tree, Drop back into who you really are. Touch deep into your energy. Feel that same energy in the cat's body, In the plants and the trees.

When you sit with your friends, Go beyond your thoughts of who you think they are. Go beyond the separation of separate bodies.

Breath deep and feel the same life force in them as in yourself. The world is a beautiful place when you come home to our oneness.

-Excerpt from "Who Are We"

I live, write and contemplate the universe from my cabin in the woods.

I was born and brought up in nature and so try to live as reverently and gently on the earth as I can.

My writing is given to me by the universal energy that connects us all.
