Beach… Gneiss… Feet…

By: Verla J. Klassen

Shoreview, Minnesota

Thriving while reviving

So much more than surviving

As Chi revitalizing

Beginning

With T’ai Chi Chih

And Seijaku

Leading from the tan t’ien

Grounding

In the soles

Of my feet

While walking

The Pacific beach

During Rocking Motion

While standing barefoot

On Morganite Gneiss

An ancient millennia old rock

Found in Minnesota

While peering

Into the cerulean sky

Drinking in its beauty

While striding

Down a path

Between giant pine

While skirting a nearby lake

Up a trail

Awestruck

By the elegant white swans

Swimming down the stream

Earth’s energy

Coursing through being

Entering

Through the soles

Of my feet
