"Life After Loss: The Still and Quieting Voice of Nature"

"When I took the time during my recovery to get to know this place that holds each of us softly, the ‘Earth Mother,’ a sensitivity towards and forgiveness for myself slowly started seeping into my thoughts. Alice Walker felt this, too; “She can be known by swimming in her oceans, or even by looking at them. She can be known by eating her collard greens and carrots. Savoring her fruits, walking through her wheat fields. She is everywhere, our Earth Mother; it is truly astonishing how often she is not seen.”
"This is something I discovered when learning how to not be afraid to go outside again; how to get dressed even if it took me two hours to prepare my mind to do so; when I began to count the stars at night on the walks I had to build my confidence up in order to achieve."
