We can learn so much by looking up at the sky, with wide eyes, in wonder. We can feel deeply when sitting beneath a tree, in stillness after practicing yoga with some close friends. We can experience every sense nature presents to us while lying down in dewy grass after finishing a race. Nature is here to remind us and allow us to become curious about the great mystery of balance, harmony and life.
One of the Gifts that can arise from a recent bout of injuries, the inevitable surgeries, and rehab is a gift that can also be reaped from reading cheeky a poem by Shel Silverstein: Slowing Our Pace In Life. In the time it takes you to recover from injury so many clouds will gently float past you, you’ll start to take notice of the flowers growing diligently in a nearby field. The words filling the page will take on completely new meaning, depth. This simple act of just “being“ will ignite a new understanding of yourself, forgiving you for all the abuse you have subjected yourself to.
Notes:
Because of our mind numbing daily pace, we all forget, that sometimes, we are an integral part of nature. Be well today and take care.
Healing is a wondrous state. Only when we come into stillness do we realize that the moon does howl… even sings a lullaby from time to time… Lullaby Rock, that is.
Namaste!! =)
I have been wanting to use a George Carlin quote for a long time now 🙂
Great post, great illustration to go with it.
Thank you for stopping over to have a look around and for your kind words! Take care today and be well. 🙂
Such a great reminder that we are part of nature. I always love the beauty in changing with the seasons. Hope you enjoy your weekend 🙂
We sure will. 🙂 Please do the same and take care!
