Nature is my religion,

the trees my cathedral.

I worship with my body

sinking into emerald moss.

I loved this, beautifully written. Felt like an invitation of return to myself too, to what is true and pricelessly valuable . 🙏

“The trees remind me who I am: not a machine to produce, but a soul to feel. A heart that grows toward light.

And every time I return to them, I find myself again.” We need these reminders now more than ever ☺️

Nature invites us to come to ourselves... without the noise, thoughts and opinions.... Trees let us breathe, we need them in more ways than we recognise... Stay rooted, breathe and see joy in little things. We've got this Allegra 💚🌬🦋

I often hug a tree in nature and it brings me back to this place of peace.

Sometimes I talk to them. Not in words, but in feelings. I bring my questions, my aching heart, my half-formed poems. I let them rest in the cradle of their branches.

I love this Simona

I loved reading this post, and it resonates so with me. Being in the forest is my sanctuary, where I connect with my heart, soul, and the web of life. Sitting at my spot in the forest dissolves any problem, and I see more clearly a way forward, no matter what it is about. Thank you for creating this piece and sharing it with me and the world 🙏❤️

“I walk there most mornings, barefoot when I can, letting the moss and soil speak to the soles of my feet.” Many lovely lines like these. I felt soothed by this post.

What a beautiful piece Simona, your love and connectedness for the natural world really shines through here. It really reasonates with me & I feel exactly the same way, I actually wrote a poem about the feeling of having your back against the bark of a tree once. I'll share it soon too. Have a fantastic 2nd day of solstice season Simona ☺️🙏🏼
