Nature Lessons 92

If we could look back on the path we have taken to reach this point, how many of us would fully understand our life stories, are we not just products of our experiences? If we are to fully understand ourselves and move forward, it is helpful to look the events that brought us to this point.  As an observer, stand a little to the side and play out those scenes.  What did we learn from those difficult episodes, what do we understand now and how can we care for ourselves moving on?

Anticipation – DP

Dearest universe, could you please oblige,

and help me find my way.

I find inspiration comes into my head,

but nothing really stays.

I want to apply myself and be worthwhile,

try to do some good.

I’d love to write about love and kindness,

I’m also told I should.

But that’s a dream and a hobby too,

not how I will live each day.

I want to work with what I love,

but also something that pays.

I like to create and I like to inspire,

I like to help people recover.

I understand trauma and listen too,

I’m a bit of an earth mother.

Can you direct me to where I should be,

send me on my way.

In anticipation, with kindest regards,

oh, please don’t you delay.

Nature Lessons 91

Even on the bleakest winters day the sun still rises each day, birds continue to call in the dawn and nature unfolds as it should.  There is a beauty in the stillness of winter just as there is during difficult episodes in our own lives if we look for them.  Find the beauty around you, find it in silence, find it in hope and find it natures messages.

It might be just a small weed but it blows freely in the wind spreading itself far and wide.  I think that the pleasure it gets from what it gives out maybe far greater than the adoration other flowers might get from their beauty.  It doesn’t take an awful lot to leave bits of yourself with those you pass, kindness, happy memories and something to think about.  It’s a beautiful thing to touch others with love and kindness as you pass along your way.

Nature Lessons 87

It can take us a lifetime to understand the real meaning of love in our lives. For a number of people to find, live in and become love is their very purpose here. Like the foliage on a tree that transforms into a beautiful picture of warmth and love before it dies,  we too radiate love out into the world once we know and understand it.

Nature Lessons 85

Every living thing on earth is made up of energy. A tree and through it, to each individual leaf, fruit, flower and petal. A field and each and every blade of grass, crop and speck of soil across it. This energy works together, joining as a mass of energy that drives the world forward. Each one of us is the same, from a group of people to each individual, down to each atom within us, our potential is immense if we can harness this energy.

Nature Lessons 83

When we are able to connect to ourselves, understand our own workings and sometimes imperfections, we are far more able to connect with others.  When we recognise and accept the feelings that are at our very core, allow them to be part of who we are without shame or fear we live in truth.  We naturally relate to others and through understanding and compassion our networks widen, we become authentic.
