And-
after all-
there is this
finding of
your
Self,

on a ridge,
or a range,
a mountain trail,
or beside a river’s
edge..

this space that
No one or
No thing
can take away,
or own, contain
or coerce-

a surrendered
ease across
a gritted
trail,
where you find
your
Place,

and a
Sympathetic
harmonic
resonance begins
vibrating,
Echoing
your
Freedom.

Sympathetic resonance is this really cool thing that happens when one cello string (or any stringed instrument, tuning fork) vibrates to play another “passive” or “untouched” string. The sound of the played string sets up a resonance/vibration in the other unplayed string and it begins to ring in harmony.

Nature is where I find my “sympathetic resonance.” xo
