Day 31: What Matters (31 Notes from Nature)

What Matters

What matters is that you do not pretend

you do not hear the water’s ancient melody

over stones in the river,

and you do not turn away from the questions

ringing inside you like bells in the monks hands.

What matters is that you do not ignore the alpine meadows

and their wildflowers singing the cobalt sky,

and you say yes to the laughter

and yes to the tears

and you open yourself up to the mountain

so the sun can find you

and the wind caress your face

and the grass kiss your feet.

What matters is that you say yes to the dance

and yes to the songs,

yes to the night and all her stars

yes to the colours painted by light

yes to the deserts and their longings for soul.

What matters is that you say yes

to the voice inside the voice

of the one you forgot

the one who dreamed,

and played and loved

and you bring forth

what is in you

to bring forth

and you break through your own walls

and erase your own ceilings

and stumble and fall

and get up again

as you find your way

home.
