“Great Spirit,
With Your
Grace and guidance
Show me with pure eyes
Let me hear with clarity.
Guide me in the knowing
Of the Way I am
To share Divine Love.
Gently open my heart
To reveal the fire of
Passion that burns within.
For every day is a chance
To begin again,
A chance to live and love.”

“The eye cannot
Conceive the miracle
It beholds.
The beauty surpasses
The knowing of
The senses.
The heart knows.
Hallaleua!
The heart knows.
The heart remembers
How to fly
Into the mystic.
Delivering remembrance
To every cell
Returning us to
and revealing the oneness
Of all.” -2016 Camilla Downs – Author, Lessons from Nature

Feeling incredibly blessed … What a beautiful confirmation to have waiting for me as I got online.
I am deeply grateful to have found this community with which to share my nature inspired poetry. Made my eyes sweat with joy …
Thank you to Thomas for taking this picture of me; which I feel exudes freedom …
Free to Be Me and Free to Be You …. xoxo

And out of the darkness
We shall emerge.
A darkness that
Has been necessary.
A vital and pivotal point
Of confronting the
Shadows within.
For to have more
Than brief glimpses
Of the light,
This acceptance, forgiveness,
And dissolution of shadows
Must be met.
As what awaits is
The eternity of light and love,
Ever there, ever lovingly
And patiently waiting
To welcome us home.” -2016 Camilla Downs – Author, Lessons from Nature
“The world slows
Time nearly stops
And I see.
I see your differences
I see the contrast.
I see what you impart.
You shine light
Upon the harmony of nature
So that I may see the
Oneness of nature and
The oneness of humanity
I am held in your loving
Embrace to have the all of all
Poured into my open heart.
And I say, yes, I see and
I will share and shine the light.” -2016 Camilla Downs – Author, Lessons from Nature
**THROWBACK POST**
January 23 2013:
A little something I wrote this past weekend … Inspired by Fallen Leaf Lake, Mount Tallac and Lake Tahoe … Go with the flow and dance y’all … Happy Wednesday! ♥
Earth Dance
As the sun’s rays dance upon you like stars twinkling in the night sky, so shall our souls dance upon this Earth.
As you are who you are with ease, so shall we no longer struggle to be who we are.
As you adjust to the World around you without struggle, so shall we go with the flow of life.
As you release your beauty, power, and love for us to enjoy and learn from, so shall we drop the facade of our bodies and identifying with materialism and what we’ve accomplished …
And so shall we become vessels of love, joy and peace.

“One with sun,
One with moon,
One with water,
One with trees,
One with soil,
One with wind,
One with birds and bees,
One with rain,
One with fire,
One with me,
One with all of life,
One with love.” ~2016 Camilla Downs, Lessons from Nature
