Feast of the Listening Earth

September 11

Meaning: Silence, listening, communion with the land

The Earth does not shout—she waits.
Her voice is not in thunder, but in root and stone.
This is the day to listen before you ask.

Go outside and sit where life grows.
Place your hand on the ground.
Say nothing. Wait until the silence speaks.

Let what rises surprise you.
Not all wisdom begins in the mind.
Some truths rise from beneath the feet.

Tonight, walk with no words.
Bow once to the land before you enter your home.
Say: “I heard.”
