Be Like Nature: Always Do What You Must to Begin Again

 

Stop Acting So Small 

You are the Universe in Ecstatic Motion

Rumi

You got this thing called life....

Don't Belittle yourself, 

Be Big yourself.

Corita Kent

Nature Chooses to Thrive

The natural world is filled with hopeful and inspiring stories

of renewal and recovery from disasters and the ordinary cycles of life. 

Sit quietly, listen and learn. 

Observe how nature revives itself through patient 

and persistent regeneration--blossoming and flourishing 

again and again no matter how long the winter or how fierce the storm. 

Nature always chooses life and does what it must to start again.

We can too.

How can you utilize patience and persistence to help you flourish?

What can you learn from the natural world around you? 

 What part of your life do you want to nurture and grow? 

What part of your life has waned that you want to flourish again? 

What do you need to do to lay the seeds of regeneration and blooming? 

What is one step you can take? What is another?

"The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep"

Rumi

"What You Seek"

"Is Seeking You"

Rumi

Trust the Natural Cycles of Life

If nature can come back from hardships so can you. 

Turn your face towards the sun, and trust yourself 

to successfully navigate the seasons of life. 

There's a time for work; a time for play; a time for rest. 

There's a time to lie low, a time to grieve,

and a time to harness your energy and heal.

Whether this is your time to quietly sit in a contemplative state of gestation 

anticipating what comes next, or a time of actively birthing your life,

 know it is always the right time for you to grow your life.

Your time is now.

This stunning tree bark is one of many delights of nature

greeting me on my daily walks. I often stop to admire its 

ever-changing-with-the-seasons beauty while contemplating 

the secrets it holds for weathering the storms and years. 

What secrets does it hold for me today? 

Today I see the natural flow of life in it's design. 

I see its smoothed surface amid the bumps.

Today, I contemplate

reconnecting with the smooth flow of my life 

despite the bumps I experience along the way.

I have the strength, patience and persistence to

thrive and create something beautiful out of the hardships.
