Barefootin'

My "Small Stone" for Sunday, January 13.

She slipped out as I went to the laundry room.  Her old kitty legs still moved spryly down the stairs.  After putting the laundry in, I found her peacefully bathing herself on a soft green patch of winter rye grass.

Instead of picking her up to go inside I sat down.  I took my shoes off and wiggled my toes in the garden soil.  How long had it been since I touched the earth with bare skin?

And there we sat, feeling the pulse of our Mother Earth, feeling grounded, feeling connected, feeling nurtured.   Our Mother does take care of us if we let Her.

Going barefoot, connecting with the rhythms of nature, transferring of electrons from the earth to you, grounding…..all of this is what is now being referred to as “Earthing”.  There is a plethora of information out there about how Mother Earth is a comforter, a stress-reliever and a healer.  We were created to connect to the Earth, to walk barefoot.

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” Khalil Gibran

I love this quote from Khalil Gibran.  It is a reminder that the Mother “delights to feel our feet.”  She longs for us to come to Her.  She calls to us to partake of her healing power.

Gaia calls her children to Her.  Let us go to Her!  Let us be healed!
