\u201cThe land knows you, even when you are lost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She knows you <\/span><\/p>\n

dear, heart<\/span><\/p>\n

she\u2019s felt your pulse<\/span><\/p>\n

through the soles of your feet<\/span><\/p>\n

from your first step<\/span><\/p>\n

and caught you when you lost balance<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even when you forget<\/span><\/p>\n

that there is love to be had<\/span><\/p>\n

even when you forget<\/p>\n

where your home is<\/span><\/p>\n

even when you forget <\/span><\/p>\n

who you really are<\/span><\/p>\n

and what you\u2019re here to do<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the whole of creation <\/span><\/p>\n

has sent you spinning<\/span><\/p>\n

and groundless<\/p>\n

when you clawed at the floor<\/span><\/p>\n

To remember<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She\u2019s got you<\/span><\/p>\n

righting you<\/span><\/p>\n

by the dense moss to the north<\/span><\/p>\n

by the thick leaves to the south<\/span><\/p>\n

showing that you are connected <\/span><\/p>\n

to all things<\/span><\/p>\n

by a cord that <\/span><\/p>\n

cannot be cut <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And in the end<\/span><\/p>\n

like a tender mother<\/span><\/p>\n

she will embrace your fragile bones<\/span><\/p>\n

and sing you to sleep<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
