As each fruit ripens, the branch lets go. As each fruit falls away it makes room for another. Such is the cycle of life, an eternal fruit tree, nourishing, growing and setting free.

Nature Lessons 346
Reaching out from the heart isn’t at all difficult, we naturally feel from within our hearts, we just need to reach the realisation we can touch too.

Like the flower that knows to turn it’s head in the direction of the sun, deep inside we know where we are going. There is light up ahead and although we may not yet see, it’s warmth is forever drawing us closer.

A Single Wave
A single wave cannot change the sea any more than the weather can change the sky. They remain as they are whatever appears to be happening on the surface, the sky and sea will always be. We are just the same, life brings changes, clouds and ripples to our lives but we remain as we always were.
We are more than the people we think we are, we are as constant as the sea and sky, we are eternal. The things that happen to us, the things we think are important cannot really affect us, they affect the person but not the presence inside, the awareness that is our true nature.
The sun continues to shine behind the clouds, as our light continues even on the darkest of days. The sea moves as one beneath the waves, unaffected by what happens on the surface, as what happens to us each day is on the surface. Deep inside and all around we are greater than what happens. What happens, happens but we continue.
The person we think we are will age, will feel and will eventually die. We are all on the same journey, we are all heading towards death as the wave that crashes to the shore and is no more. Only then will we discover the true self that is constant, eternal as the sea and sky, only then will we understand the dream of life.
Whatever happens, know it will not change you, the real and constant being, it is just a ripple, a cloud, nothing more.

Like nature, some people have spikes, they try to prevent us getting close. But when we look closely we find that these spikes are just on the surface and beneath there is so much more. In nature spikes are used for protection, we are the same because we are nature. Look beyond the spikes to find the emotions that run within.

That a flower comes from dry cracked earth doesn’t matter, it still blooms. Where we come from shouldn’t matter, it’s where we are going that’s important. Let those cracks you grow from fill with the moisture to feed your emotions so that you might grow into the most spectacular flower.

Watching and seeing, listening and hearing, understanding and empathising. In a world where so much is beyond our control, take time to be there, that’s community.

Each of us, when we take a moment, will hear the gentle whisper in our ear. Each of us is connected to a higher, wiser, more knowing self. We just need to take a moment and listen.

Rise like the flower, strive for completeness as you grow, spreading your beauty all around. Let each petal reflect the beauty within your soul, let your colours light up any shade. When you finally reach a place of openness, the whole world will of know your beauty.

That blue sky around us, that healing deep blue that provides us with clarity, that encourages growth and provides space, that’s what we should be reaching for.
