Even in a single leaf of a tree, or a tender blade of grass,
the awe-inspiring Deity manifests Itself.
~ Shinto - Urabe-no-Kanekuni
We are surrounded by a rich and fertile mystery.
~ Henry David Thoreau
After a day of writing in my office, the breeze is like
heaven. I smell the green and enjoy the colorful flowers my husband has
planted. Paradise exists right here and now.
When I spend time surrounded by Nature, I begin to feel that
this is my true home. I begin to know I am Nature and It is me.
The wisdom of Spirit is manifested in all aspects of Nature
which is Its body. I walk on the grass and know the support of the Earth and
Spirit. I breathe the air and am inspired and awakened. Pansies and petunias
teach me about how fragile life is and that there is always more.
We sometimes wonder where the Divine is when we’re in one of
our uninspired or dark moments. We need only look at the tree swaying in the
wind or even our own hand. Spirit is revealing Itself in everything. It is
everything. We are never alone.
I often use “It” to talk about Nature or Spirit. But truly,
the Divine whether in spirit or in Its revealed form, is a Thou not a thing as
we would normally treat things. We are in relationship to this Beingness and as
it continually reveals Itself to us, it teaches as well as touches our hearts
and minds.
I know as I sit here and breathe this air I take Life into
me. A true communion takes place. All is revealed.
