This earth enjoys your footprints

"When you are in a certain place,
great love or kindness happens;
it imprints itself on the ether of the place."
~ John O'Donohue



This earth enjoys your footprints
Walk along, walk along
On grass, dry leaves, twigs, stone and gravel
This earth enjoys your footprints.

This place enjoys your presence
Look around, look around
A hill, a glade, a field, or wood and stone
This place enjoys your presence

This world enjoys your journey
travel on, travel on
to landmark, mountain vista, river bank, to coming home,
This world enjoys your journey

This world enjoys your journey
