“Nature calls me to sit in quiet stillness. Surrendering to my observing mind, I allow the feelings of wonder and awe to elevate all of my thoughts. The energy of Creation surrounds me, and all of my being is transformed by Her magical symphony of color and sounds. The Earth is birthing New Life, and I am invited to participate, observe, and celebrate the Birth of this New Season!”
After writing the above, my wondering mind thought about the following… If I were in charge of the annual calendar, the New Year would begin in the Spring! For it is during this magical Season that half of the Earth is celebrating New Life and New Beginnings. This is the Season when millions of Sprouts, Buds, and Blossoms carry the profound message that Life renews itself! It is during this time of year that a simple walk in Nature allows us to witness both New Light and New Life coming into the world. It is here that the Plant world and Songbirds captivate our senses, and we are awakened to the Magnificent reality that New Life and New Beginnings are fundamental in the Cycle of Life. And so as I behold the above image, I imagine the Songbirds heralding the Earth’s New life with the following message:
“UNFOLD, relax and allow yourself to just be! Open from within! Know that the Energy of Creation is never ending and today it is moving through You! Understand that we are all uniquely beautiful and uniquely gifted. Know that you are each born into this Life to blossom, and that is how you share your own unique color, shape and markings. Do not look to imitate other flowers, but rather be confident that your fulfillment lies in sharing your own distinctive Beauty. Know that most of you are part of a larger forest, field or garden, and that your collective beauty is greater than the sum of each of our individual Blooms. Know that Blossoming is your primary purpose and that is how you are meant to change the world! It is intentional that you are not born into a Paradise, but rather that you are designed to create one!”
Written with Gratitude for all of the gifts and Messages of Spring!
