Pachamama

Pachamama 

Goddess of Mother Earth revered by the Indigenous of the Andes

The  following is written by Janne Robinson my favorite writer at the moment:

I wish the world to smell like cedar. For the only struggle to be with spider webs from paths untouched by human feet. To fall asleep by a fire that cackles, right there, on the floor, in the wood chips and the ash. I wish to wake up each morning and pee in the woods. 

my wake up office, another day of work - Canyonlands National Park, Utah 2015

 Brush my teeth looking out at a lake still sleeping. Spider webs glistening by a white bar of soap on the dock. I wish to make kicking horse coffee in a blue tin cup and read book after book laying in the bottom of the canoe as it is still tied up.

I wish to wake up to the chill of the morning, not forced heat that makes me claustrophobic to breathe--crisp air, cleaned by the hemlocks and spruces outside my bedroom window.

Alaska !

 
 I wish to wake up and water the flowers, barefoot and bare bummed. Light the kettle on a blue oven and pull open a door that stinks of cedar and time.

  I would like you to be here, but if you're not--I will marvel, rest and play with the woman of the hour I came to see--mamma earth. If you need me, this is where I'll be.
