Nature’s Beauty Poem: We Know Where We Belong by Natacha Neveu for TheSortingHouse
Here’s a raw, reverent ode to our savage nature. A poem about nature’s beauty, an offering from the wild, undomesticated being that still lives inside of a materially crafted us. It comes from the place that remembers natural instinct, organic rhythm, and what’s real beneath all the synthetic noise.
It’s a thank you to the cosmic mother; our earth, origin, source, and a nod to anyone who feels that pull to return to something honest, something told of in tales of old. Inspired by the art of strong women and the men shaped by them. This adoring nature’s beauty poem moves through elemental archetypes and paradoxes; fire and water, air and earth, gentleness and ferocity, destruction and rebirth.
Think of it as a reminder, a call to come back to yourself regardless of what is happening.
When we drift too far into the numbness of modern life, our bones still know the way home.
Our breath still remembers the trees.
Our hearts still move with the tides.
To honour what’s fierce and gentle, messy and sacred.
To find rhythm again, to rest in between, and to remember what it feels like to belong to our earth’s song.
