the sturdiness of the earth

in jordan, i see the sturdiness of the earth. it’s not aggression that people speak of. it’s rootedness, it’s connection – not to anything in particular, just to all that there is.

all of that energy courses through him. the unbearable lightness of being interweaves itself in the way he moves. he sways with the meadow grass as much as he anchors with the rocks.

it’s a shame for all the beauty within him to be dwindled down to “aggressive.”
