Springtime! What a blessing! The beauty, the smells, the first birdsong at dawn. There is a "newness" in the air. It's as if Mother Nature is conducting a perfectly synchronized orchestra of which we are all a part. And yet, beyond it there is a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought. We often get lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in the complexity of our perceived world. Nature can show us the way home. To be still, to be ourselves, where life is - in the here and now.
The next time you step outside notice how present a flower is. How surrendered it is to life.
There is a sacred mystery when we perceive nature beyond thought and witness the life within the form. We can sense how "still" it is, and in doing so that same stillness arises within us.
The contemplation of nature can free us from the "me".... The great troublemaker.
Nature is such a great teacher to help us reconnect with "being". Even committing a few minutes a day to meditation or getting quiet can bring more clarity and peace to our busy lives.
Happy Springtime!
Namaste
