Nature Lessons 165

Take each event in life as if it is the start of a new dance, know that the music will play through to the end and dance with all your heart and soul. Dance in the sunshine, sway gently in the breeze and dance through the wind and rain. Enjoy each dance in the ball as at some point the time will come for the last dance.

I Am

February 7, 2017 lizaaitken

I am the sum total

of all I’ve experienced in life,

present in this moment

through happiness and strife.

Moulded by adversity

and shaped through tender care,

If these things had not occurred,

I could be anywhere.

I travel in this vehicle

it has veered along the road,

I’m so very strong and balanced,

I carry a heavy load.

I ensure that it is packed well,

no need to stack it high,

I let it go quite often,

in-between stages I pass by.

I am the sum total

of all I’ve experienced to date,

I’m collecting as I move along,

before it gets too late.

Tides of Change

February 6, 2017 lizaaitken

If we compare the challenges we face in life to the ocean, we’ll begin to understand that whatever is happening, the tides will change. That boat that gets blown about in the gale will enjoy the calmness of a summer day, the gull that can’t land because of the swell will sleep on the ocean in months to come and those waters will always turn warm again. The storms are needed to wash away the rubbish from the shore in preparation for another summer and the sound, smell and taste of the ocean will sooth us once again.

During those difficult times when it feels that everything has been stripped away, watch and know that the light will come. It is only from the experience of being without, that we can know what it is to have.

We might have different opinions, different points of view dependent on where we are looking but we originate from the same place. We are the same and yet different at the same time, in seeing where we differ we need recognise where we connect.

If we approach the world closed or from a place of insecurities we will only ever see so much of it. When we are open and comfortable with who we are, fully giving of ourselves, we are in the best position to receive all that it has to give.

Even the brightest of colours fade with age. Our vibrancy may diminish but real beauty will remain in those that are truly beautiful inside.

Close to Midnight

February 1, 2017February 1, 2017 lizaaitken

So we’re getting close to midnight,

the clock is almost there.

Only two and a half seconds away,

but does anybody care.

It has gone forward thirty seconds,

we are closer to the end.

The hands of time are moving fast,

on that you can depend.

So who out there will stop the tick,

stand up for what is right.

Resist the false and bring us back,

before doomsday tonight.

The Swing

Life is like the playground swing, you swing high before you fall, it’s the ups and downs that make it worthwhile. At some point too, there is always a time to go home.

Be true to yourself and open about the feelings that come up for you, allow them to surface and be a part of who you are, wear them so they can be seen.
