The Green Classroom  

Lying on the soil of the forest
My refuge and my sanctuary
All my senses sharpened
Attentively observing the wildlife
I become a humble student of
All the mysteries of nature

Snail shells, ferns and hexagonal
Honeycombs teach me about
Sacred Geometry
From birds, howling wolves,
Rustling leaves and buzzing insects
I get to know the harmony of music

Nature's circle of
Birth, death and rebirth
Allows me insights in religion
Trees with their strong bonds and
Supportive relationships
Are my teachers in Sociology

Mother Earth gives me
Precious lessons in spirituality
Exchanging energy with trees
Meditation and contemplation
Open my senses for magic and
Conversations with the Divine

In twilight i spot tiny fairies
Plant Devas coming with
Important messages
                                                                                                     Pointing to the healing properties of                                                                                                                        
Different herbs and flowers
Teaching me about medicine

Before I leave the forest
I give thanks to Mother Earth
For the peace, contemplation and
insight she gave me gracefully
Soon I'll come back to the green  
Classroom at the school of nature
