Nature Speaks - Spring Equinox 2017

 

Nature and the calendar are not always in agreement.  Today, the calendar tells us that it is the Spring Equinox.  In the northern hemisphere, it tells us that the days will now be long and warm.  Most of the snow and cold are behind us.

It tells us that the early flowers and herbs will be poking out their green shoots.  On the west coast, the spring bulbs will be growing and out in bloom. 

Nature announces spring by giving the birds a new, happier note to sing in the morning.  The robins arrive.  The rabbits do their athletic, complex mating dance.  All beings that hibernate come out of their dens. 

The world feels alive and vibrant. The world is healing, peaceful. Life feels tranquil.

Namaste

Nature Speaks - The Burden of Life

Nature tells us that life is not a burden.  All the beings in her realm live their lives fully.  Some are short lived and some are long lived.  None of them have regrets or guilt.

Humans tend to create a world where everything is difficult.  Humans make it so.  Rather than going with the flow, humans create all sorts of hills and valleys that do not exist.  They create their own despair and desperation.

Today, find time to let go of your burdens and lift yourself and those around you up with the knowledge of the beauty of who we are.

Namaste.

Nature Speaks - Who Are You Today?

Nature does not have to remind her charges to be positive.  She does not need to remind them to be mindful.  All the beings in Nature are positive and mindful all the time.  It is part of what they are.  You might say it is in their DNA.

Since humans are part of Nature, these two aspects of being should be also in our DNA.  Yet many humans are not positive; they are depressed.  Many humans are not mindful and in the present, their minds/ego keep them wholly in the past, reliving painful moments and events.

Allowing yourself to be outside, in Nature, and observing the life outside of your contained environment does breathe life into you.  For moments, you can be conscious of nothing but what is around you in Nature.  You have a sense of peacefulness and Oneness with what is around you. 

Peace is inside you, and when you are in Nature.

Namaste.

Nature Speaks - This Is My Gym

 

Nature always reminds us that the best place to be is outside, close to the Earth and close to Nature.  The outdoors is healing.  Yes, it can be tough and even dangerous.  Nature does however, bring you closer to yourself.  It lets all of the frustrations and resentments melt away, into the healing folds of the Earth.

When you are outside, in Nature, whether in a park, your garden, or on a mountain side, you feel your body respond to the calmness and the sense of rightness.  Our bodies are living organisms that crave to be in the sunlight and to feel the wind and the rain and the stars.  Our bodies die a little faster when they are cooped up in tall, stuffy buildings.

Today, find time to go for a walk.  Take that extra few minutes to refresh your body, and your mind.

Namaste.

Nature Speaks - Do Not Give Up

The best lesson that Nature gives us that we cannot give up.  Nature never does.  Nature, as a guiding principle, instills the will to continue, in all her children – plants, animals, insects, fish, and all manner of creepers and crawlers. 

Water, wind, ice, and fire all work on the physical aspects of the Earth to change them.  The change most often is not instantaneous, but happens over time.  Time may be decades or eons. 

Humans do not understand the concept of time in the same way.  Human life span is measured in decades. Therefore, all change, in human time, needs to be very quick. Having patience and lack of patience are character builders that we all struggle with.  Seeing something through to the end is so very satisfying.

What are you going to work on that you have given up on in the past?

Nature Speaks–Create Whenever You Feel Like It

Life is always changing in Nature.  It is a constant.  All new things created are in mathematical portions as all the things before them.  While life in nature seems to be haphazard, it is not.

Life for humans is always changing.  However, it seems human growth and development is fettered.  Creativity is thwarted.  You MUST color between the lines and follow the rules.

Life, by its definition, is creativity.  Thus, we should create whenever the mood strikes us.  Today, do something outside your norm.  Be creative.  Walk on the road, where you can, and not on the side walk.  Does it feel different? 

Namaste.
