the earth reminded me.

this morning.
i was talking to my roommate.
about how spring is on its way.
its nearly march, she exclaimed.
spring is. right. around the corner.
but sometimes i forget.
sometimes i forget.
to just be
right where i am.
and sometimes i need
a reminder.
as i stepped out of the gypsy den [the apartment]…
the whiteness made me catch my breath.
snow. was. everywhere.
a warm flow of energy trickled through me
beginning in my neck,
ending in my toes.
the snow.
it must had begun falling
since the morning’s earliest hours.
with Regina Speckor as my morning soundtrack,
i stepped out into the street.
to become apart of it all.
my roommate called to me from the door,
“happy valentines day nat!”
men and women strolling one by one
or with a companion,
under plaid umbrellas
decorated the streets of my neighborhood.
snow clung to pine branches.
and it knew it was beautiful.
as i walked.
the earth reminded me.
and was busy surrounding me with
small white beauties to keep me company as i walked.
remember where you are.
the earth whispered.
and love where you are. in this moment.
so today, on this day of love and hearts.
it is winter.
and i wonder if you can feel reminded…
to love where you are at.
in this exact moment.
because right now is wonderful.
but sometimes we need a reminder.
to be here.
just here.
and maybe we will learn:
here
is the very best place to be.
with a full heart,
and lots of love,
happy valentines day.
stay in touch
