Yes! The womb of the forest. Mother Earth. Mother God. Love this song of the soul. May we find womb and be womb for others. Beautiful.

Thanks for these words Shannon. We have a triangle of urban Woodland between busy roads. It's tiny, but still provides me with a deep breath.

Love your analogies…. Isn’t it as if the Umbilical Cord is reattached sometimes when we need that nourishment? Even better than bone broth!😉🙏🏻

Love this. I have found shelter from the wind in the forest, but to feel it as an embrace from mother god feels like coming home.
