There is just something so magical about Nature. If only we could let go of this needlessly busy life of ours, and imbibe Nature’s way of being. Of accepting everything as it may be.
A tiny wildflower in the grass, is as dearly loved and nurtured, as a tall tree, the ocean or a mountain. There is no resistance to seasons, to constant change. Be they storms, hail, snow, burning heat of the sun. If something grows it grows, if it wilts or dies, it does. If an insect eats a bud, that was about to flower, or a careless hand plucks it, it does. Everything happens as per Divine Will, in its own time and way. Sharing their beauty and abundance with all, unconditionally, with no holding back and the more plants, trees etc give of flowers, fruits and so much else, the more abundance they are blessed with. Sudden rain this morning has brought on these thoughts. Watching a tiny bird nestling in the branches of a tree, that opened its arms in order to give it's young shelter from the rain.
The flowers, drooping a bit, but overjoyed by the rain. Letting the drops linger on their petals, adding to their joy and beauty. Aware that it’s only for a while. Soon the sun will shine, the drops will glow like jewels, and then they will dry up. Teaching us again and again, to shine in the moment. That we can smile, even if our eyes are full of tears. That both can be so beautiful. All opposites melt into, and are part of one another. Pain and joy, anger and compassion, love and hate, darkness and light. Everything, a part of each other. Incomplete without them. We cannot appreciate and feel fully, one without the other. So why the resistance? Embrace all as an integral part of life. Like the seasons, like day and night, all feelings, situations, come and go. Feel them, accept them, live them fully and let them go. Awaiting eagerly in the next moment, what the Divine has in store for us. Let it unfold, and bring us what we need to experience. Live with love, kindness and gratitude. As Nature does.
Made with love,
