Eye of Tree Alamo with Poem March 2017

Eye to Eye
by Camilla Downs

“Your limbs higher than
Can be conceived.
Evokes within,
A primal urge
to raise my limbs
as yours,
while feelings of knowing
brew and bubble deep
within the very depths of my soul.

With limbs raised,
Eyes gently closed,
The lips are parted
and out flows the sound
and feeling of the all knowing
all one, divine love.

Standing next to you,
Eye to eye,
Standing next to you,
We feel our oneness.” ~2017, Lessons from Nature

Walk with Lillian Vintage Lake 3.9.17

March 10 2017:

It’s been an intense five weeks. Five weeks of swimming into the depths of my own darkness and shadows. What a wild and crazy ride. The curtain has lifted and the stage is set for the shift ….

From our walk this afternoon. I am so grateful for these two kids who have held space for me. And for always being incredibly patient with my picture taking.

Beautiful sun …. double sun
Reflection
Playing with the moon and tree branches
Throwing mud rucks into the puddle
Shadow fun

This was so good and yummy for all three of us. To be asked, “Can we stay out longer?” ….. sweet music to the soul.

A Lost Art to We by Camilla Downs

March 11 2017:

Pink Fuzzy Tree Bloom 2017

“The one supporting the many,
The many supporting the one,
This interdependent relationship you share
A lost art to we.

It’s clear to see,
The disconnect coming forth,
When the wild is taken from you,
Mirrored in the forests
Of the society of we.

Oh Mother, what a sweet
And beautiful teacher you Be.”

The melting icicles were acting as prisms this morning with the sunshine. I tried to capture it, yet this is all I could capture. Got soaked taking these as everything was melting in gushes!! xoxo

You Lift Me

October 29 2016:

“When I’m tired, you lift me.
When my thoughts have settled on sadness,
you hold a gentle space for me.
You remind me to unfold with life
and help me remember to simply be.” ~ Camilla Downs
