on my land

So today I walked the span of my land.

my land (well technically I walked it 4 hours prior to it officially becoming mine).
but still…

I felt connected to it. walking over wildflowers, leftover sunflowers, and already harvested wheat.
As much as I felt an interesting feeling of 'ownership’,
I also felt that the land can never be owned.

Those flowers and dried wheat shafts are no more mine than the clouds could be.
But during this time that we have in this lifetime, here on this planet, we are given the role of care-taker.

So in just a few hours I will become a caretaker of this land. A roll I gladly accept.
