Nature’s Nurturing

Flowers do not force themselves to open. Quietly they perfume the universe with fragrance without a care of which aroma is unsurpassed. They know not how long they have to exist yet they perfume the universe with every bit of fragrance they have

Clouds do not plan a convention to promise rain. They cannot help but pour out in abundance what they have to share- a sprinkle, a drizzle or a downpour of enough water to quench Earth’s thirst

Birds do not flock together to plot an overthrow of the species. They make music, frolic in harmony and happy to share the universe so each can spread its wing and fly away or choose to stay in formation during flight and even attend to the weakling

Rivers do not flow into the ocean or sea to argue with ocean and sea about being already too endowed; nor is ocean and sea belittling the slow meandering waters. To top it all, rivers do not protest about how far they had to come to meet with sea and ocean

Butterflies do not stay in their cocoons forever; and when it is time for them to say goodbye, the cocoon does not force them to stay nor does the chrysalis feel sorry or feel that its role was a waste or calls butterflies ungrateful after all it has done for them

The sun does not favour any tree, seeds or grain of soil more or less

The moon is no less dependent on the sun’s energy than the stars and earth dependent on the sun’s warmth

Babies do not question whether they will be clothed, fed or nurtured or what they have to do in return for love

Somehow, sadly when human being grow, all this trust in this invisible intelligence seems lost. Still, Nature is here to provide us with the same energy and consciousness that it provides for all of existence to exist- naturally.

Meanwhile, seasons spin their tune over and over and over and over again. Nature does her nurturing and life continues to do what Life does. Through trees, animals, natural resources Nature continues to demonstrate this fact- live and direct- silently, audibly, visually, intelligently, consciously even when the mind thinks that it is and behaves like it is the only matter that is wise it is not the only faculty in charge and when it is, it is with Nature’s permission!
