That it is okay to grow and evolve. Change happens and I am capable of growing into a healthy version of myself. Also that everyday is a new day. I can look and feel different everyday and that is okay.
Good stuff always follows bad stuff!! Fog lifts. Blizzards melt. Clouds break. Hurricanes pass. And following that is beautiful weather. Nature teaches us that bad stuff is inevitable, but it is inevitably followed by something beautiful.
Not feeling very wise right now.
More like a wise guy.
Of course I’ve learned so much from nature.
I think a lot about trees and rocks. Ya know,
botany and geology.
Being raised where there are four distinct seasons and then living as an adult in the deep south where the cycle of the seasons is not predominant remind me of the importance of cycles. Also, my love and observation of trees has taught me how important it is to respond graciously to the cycles in my own life. Evergreen trees have always made me ponder.
I can’t look at a seed without wanting to know if it is a perennial or an annual. The literally thousands of zinnia seeds I save each year started 4 years ago from a packet of 12 seeds. A few weeks ago I planted 6 Basil seeds and now I have a basil plant over a foot tall.
The thorns on the stem of a flower as beautiful as a rose make me ponder.. Does the rose have thorns or do the thorns produce a rose?
The power in a river’s current tells me the importance of going with the flow in my own life. The majestic sound of the tide when standing on an Atlantic Ocean coastal beach leaves me in awe . A walk in a gentle rain or the the thunder and lightening of a violent storm is really no different than a shout or a whisper from my own lips. Just like Mother Nature, I have experienced it all in my own life–The Wisdom of Nature.
That all is light. That the core is light. Spaceless and timeless. That this is what is. And that this light is the same everywhere, One light, One Love. And that all is all right. Like Bob Marley sung. 🙏🙇🙏
One love, one heart
Let’s join together and a-feel all right
One love (full of mercy)
One heart (I tell you)
Let’s join together (at this house I pray)
And a-feel alright (and I will feel alright)
Let’s join together and a-feel all right
Now, let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I’d really like to ask (one soul)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
One love, one heart
Let’s join together and a-feel all right
One love (hear my plee)
One heart
Let’s join together and a-feel alright
Let’s join together (let’s just trust in the Lord)
And a-feel all right (and I will feel alright)
Let’s join together to fight this holy battle
So when the man comes there will be no, no doom
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner
There ain’t no hiding place among the kingdoms of love, yes
One love (hear my plee)
One heart (oh)
Let’s join together and feel all right
One love (full of mercy)
One heart (I tell you)
Let’s join together (let this house a-pray)
And a-feel all right (and I will feel alright)
Let’s join together and a-feel all right
One love, one heart
Let’s join together and a-feel all right
One love (full of-)
One heart (oh)
Let’s join together and a-feel all right
Let’s join together (let’s all pray to the Lord)
And a-feel alright (and I will feel alright)
I tell you, let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)

Some things come to mind instantly:
There is goodness and there is badness
There is love and there is hate
There is life and then there is death
There is me and there is you
We are not alone
We can stretch out our hands and together we can be one and help one another along….bringing love and peace and joy as we go.
No matter what happens in this day, the sun will rise tomorrow.
What goes around comes around.
Things happen in their own due time.
All living things that are born must die, and when they do, their bodies nourish new life.
It really is a great circle of life.
Every uphill has a downhill.
If you put something under enough pressure it will transform into something new.
My energy is connected with the energy of the entire universe.
As the universe is constantly expanding toward an unknown end state, so are we as individuals constantly expanding and building towards our cumulative potential.

I looked out my front dining room windows this morning and saw 3 baby peacocks with their mama! sooooo cute. The natural world’s wisdom is birth for me today:)
Have a great weekend everyone:)

How true Robin Ann, and how beautiful your words are! Thank you.

Charlie T, I think wise may be more of a state than a feeling. And nothing wrong with being a wise guy, injects some humor in life!
Everything already works exactly as it is. The natural world doesn’t need any input from me or my species.
Excellent.
Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.
Undeniable truth.

Dear Carol, ” Does the rose have thorns or do the thorns produce a rose?” That line will give me something to ponder.

Singles together make abundance.
