When she wore heels
she never saw the whole sky.
She didn’t keep chickens or ducks
or walk between the corn fields.
When she wore heels
she never thought about the lilies.
She didn’t guess the reason for the moon
or shout out to the geese.
When she wore heels
she never smelled wild onions.
She didn’t grow pumpkins and zinnias
or sit among the cats.
When she wore heels
she never watched the creek rise.
She didn’t mend a screen door
or hold a dying songbird.
When she wore heels
she never came to see me.

"When She Wore Heels" by PrairieTalk speaks to the core of listening and being with nature.
We all find our Truth within, by being Still, quiet and listening to the Silence. By bringing nothing and simply listening. Divinity presents Itself to us here in our inner Sanctuary. Our only purpose is to surrender and receive. Love in infinite qualities can shine forth from us and manifest into the physical world of ordinary human life. In simple ways. Giving a smile and a hello, opening a door, offering forgiveness instead of a grudge. We individually contain in our consciousness everything we think we perceive to be outside of ourselves. We face our own defect when we see it in someone or something else. To heal the world simply requires one to enter oneself and ask oneself for forgiveness. Forgive yourself and then forgive the world around you. It is the only path of True healing. It REQUIRES that we first look inside, sit in the presence of the Nameless One and witness our Truth, The Truth. Honestly respond to what is learned HERE and then live IT forth into the outside world, into your daily life. With Gratitude. Divinity is the ONLY REALITY. Every duality we think we perceive in ordinary daily human life is an error. An Illusion , a distortion of the pure Truth. The Earth is Divine, We as Divine Free Spirits are perfect. We just don't perceive the full perfection of our Reality, yet. This Awakening and the sweeping rise in awareness covering the entire planet is the beginning of the Atonement. We as a collective Consciousness are choosing to wake up. We temporarily see all the defects of the Separation Experience, but we WILL see the perfection of our individual and Collective Divinity. All the dark, terrible, evil, light, positive, good is still a duality illusion - the entire 'ordinary' human experience is an error in perception. It is the result of millennium of Belief systems being unconsciously accepted through countless generations. We are now the generation that is questioning everything. We have the capacity to go inside ourselves and be Present with The Truth. By choosing to resonate our consciousness with the frequency of Divinity we will perceive the perfection of Reality. We will literally manifest a New World. It maybe the same dirt and very similar bodies, but our perception of our relationships will become more rarified. We will see and feel toward each other in a more beautiful way. Even this is still just a Flux, a temporary transition state of metamorphosis. We are momentarily limited and then we become fully infinite and eternal. We transcend and remain completely within the Divine frequency. In Truth the Separation experience was always a mirage. Just a heat vapor on a desert highway. We as Divine Free Spirits of God/Love/Universal Intelligence/Mind/Truth/Life is what we are, have been and forever will be in all of eternity and infinity.
Peace,

Dear PrairieTalk, such a lovely poem with juxtaposition two different kinds of images and a bit of a surprise ending. Loved reading about all the wonderful things available to those in comfort shoes.
