I am so fortunate to live next to a small medieval village, surrounded by vineyards, and next to the Pyrenees, in the south of france.
This week, although it's still late march/early april, the sun and the blue skies have been glorious and so hot.
After a long walk, and following my meditation, I was reminded again just how much nature teaches us about who we really are. In walking, we can feel nature so easily. In driving a car, we are more likely to just see nature. Yet I have learned that nature has a tangible force that permeates the entire universe.
In that force, we can commune. In that force, we can feel our total connectedness to all of life. In that force we clearly see the continuous cycles of growth and transformation and feel the underlying infinity of it all. It's so natural. It helps us realise that we are a part of a higher force that guides us. It helps us realise the power and the wisdom of nature's laws. In nature we can see, hear, feel, smell, touch and taste our reality and truth. I find my walks, in beautiful and natural surroundings anywhere in the world, fill me with spirit, gratitude and awe.
Yet we sometimes think we know more. How many of us are so busy with our own thoughts and busy lives that we don't recognise or forget the guiding truth that nature offers?
