sequel of the untold
The untold stories
Where do they live? Where are they in your body?
How is it that you walk in the woods and your body is distinctly,
clearly,
subtly,
yet loudly,
communicating back and forth
How is it that the energy shifts as i walk along the path?
Something changed
I can feel that huge gum on my right,
turning towards me,
its massive aura directed, engulfing mine
Talking silently, whispers carried in the wind
Yet it is on another level that the exchange happens and the dance begins
I am made aware of my feet above its roots,
sending their energy up,
letting me know where i am
Where i am in relation to them
We are meeting,
we are in the meeting as I walk barefoot
I am linked to the mycelium of this specific area,
linked to this cluster
I feel it distinctly
a succinct change, precise change
In how my system more and more is linked
and has expanded into the vastness
of the neural mycelial network sphere
I breathe interconnected
I breathe interdependence
I am welcome
I have been granted permission to remember.
I have allowed myself to drop and melt and listen
to what was by divine birthright always on offer
The gift of the woods
I continue walking,
the breath of that gumtree still dancing,
lingering, tingling,
tinkling in my heart
While my feet feel the extension and the lengthening of our connection
Stretching golden yellow light highways,
immediately adjusting to the movement,
to the form of my next step
as i move forward along the path .
Adjusting, linking to other central parts of the mycelium beneath
Anchoring with my heart and with my womb,
with my bodies into the mycelium around and above
The untold
The mycelium is wise,
it is vast and wide,
it is mysterious,
Mystic
The untold
It interacts quietly,
opens me up to the deeper layers
Mycelium strands dna
Dna and all of the untold
In my mind: Is this what epigenetics is?
In my heart: I am here
Walking through this wood
And
I can feel the forests and the different continents,
ecosystems,
clusters,
specificity,
diversity,
I feel the different lands, the different mood, the different times, the different light.
In my heart i feel the interaction with the forest
Within a different body, within a different story,
within all those different lives
Interconnected
We are interconnected and i feel the exchange
The joy, the tears, the lives,
so much honor
The medicine, the poison, the shelter,
the teacher, the walking aid, the unconditional friend,
the bud
The loud and soft whispers
I begin to see
in front of me the geometry, the shapes, the codes
Begin to hear without hearing,
the ancestral dialogue,
the guidance, the advice, the secrets,
the magic, the embrace, the celebration,
the mourning
I feel the ripple of sound touching my skin
the hair on my naked arms,
Resonance of song, of sound, of vibration rippling through me
The long lost memory
Ancestors, oh my ancestors
The untold
All your joy and the sorrow
Your lives, you love, your pain
Your beloved forest, beloved waters, beloved earth
All of the untold
opens up in less than a breath
less than a heartbeat
Like a balloon filled with water explodes.,
the content soaking and running
All of the stories, all of the untold
The untold covered, lingering, forgotten,
covered in mud and decay rotting,
decomposing like the leaves on the ground
Yes, death is a big part of the untold
and birth is too.
And oh I feel it all
All of the untold
About how close we were with nature
how close we were to the mountain
and the rivers and the lakes
The untold,
now uncomfortable, yucky, sticky, guilty,
outcast and ashamed
All this time all of the untold
And i was longing back for something i didn't even have the words for
Oh the untold
To remember
I am of the forest
It runs in my blood
I am one with the mountain
It runs in my blood
I am one with the waters
this is my blood
I love you country, I love you country,
I love you beautiful, beautiful, beautiful country
The untold,
The heavy heart,
the rolling heart,
the roaring heart.
The untold offering itself patiently
Offering the invitation to remember
You,
You, who walked before
Your connection is in my blood
Your sacred prayer is in my blood
Your life in union with the cosmic and earthly mycelium
it too, screams and shakes and sings
and sighs
And drums and beats louder and louder
uncontrollable
in sacred trance
Within my blood
Your song runs through my tissue and bones
Oh yes, the untold
All this heaviness
A patient beckoning
to remember me
by remembering you
What we are made of ,where we come from, and to where we shall return
