take off those barriers of comfort
remove the shoes that prevent
your awareness of all that is holy
beneath you bearing you up
feel it for once press in to the reality
that presses back against you
the coolness of morning dew
the warmth of sun splashed dirt
the prickly poke of fallen needles
the crunchy cushion of leaves let go
the plush blanket of blades spread out
turn aside at every glorious flame
ground your soul in deep attachment
