Carrying Rosebud with us

        I recently read that throughout our lives 

our bones and teeth become reservoirs for the chemical elements 

to which we have been exposed. 

Our bodies use the local water we drink 

to form the proteins and elements
present in our hair, fingernails
and other body tissues.

We do, in fact, 

spiritually, emotionally and physically 

carry all our landscapes with us.

The spirit of  a place gets into our hearts and souls 

as the basic elements of a place
are joined to our very bodies and bones.

 

I suspect we're all good with that!
