“Open the windows and let the night blow in.

Inhale the velvet sky, alive and dancing with pinprick stars. The ancient damp red earth.

These olfactory wonders sent to envelope us at this place in the universe.

To remind us that we are- right here- expansive energy.

That we are warm and safe and loved and held.

That the open plains and warm winds, night skies are places we can rest.”
