The earth pulses with a slow heartbeat, inviting us to quiet our own. Through time in nature, we downshift from busy days to spacious wisdom and from mental chatter to gracious sentience. The Good Earth offers refreshing reminders of the beauty of wild animals, rushing streams, and starlit nights. It returns us to visceral relief for our bodies and valued peace for our troubled minds. Gratitude then naturally bubbles up, and we revel in refreshed spirits. Through the enclosed poems, you may rediscover how much you actually belong to nature, to others, and to yourself. In the process, your own canyons of gratitude will guide you toward greater wellbeing, with all the attendant blessings.
