Nature Opens the Door

Nature Opens the Door sings to the heart, through the art of poetry. These poems will weave you with words into an awareness of the intricate, intimate, vast web of life, inviting you to experience a deep sense of connection and belonging. Through her nature poetry, Carol Marcy opens up a whole new world, showing you things that you've never seen but have always been there.

"Come walk with me with awareness along the song-lines of the heart. Breathe deep belly breaths. Feel the diaphragm invite air into your lungs. Feel the soles of your feet come into conversation with the Earth. Experience the warmth of the sunlight tangling with your hair. Bathe in the light in and around you, opening and energizing your heart." These poems are meditations often inspired by forest bathing walks which she leads on Cape Cod.

Beauty
a conversation that
opens the heart in awe
swallowing me whole
in the pure vast blueness of sky.
A spring flower gladdens my heart
providing a gateway
to the flowering of the Spirit.
Beauty opens awareness
to inner winds, skies and oceans
that speak a secret language to the heart.
Beauty, the golden key to the inner garden,
filled with unending abundance
flowing like a river,
pouring water over the edge of life,
cascading down into forever as Love.
