The Wonders of Nature

When the sound of nature gets itself heard at a deep level, there is a peace, a profound tranquility that exudes from it, whether it be the sound of rain as it beats down on the ground and on leaves of bushes or trees or the gushing of water flowing in a busy brook or the crashing of waves onto the shore. Each carries a charge of peace which is injected into our spirit to ignite in us inner tranquility and satisfaction.

Just look for a moment at sunshine streaming through the tree canopy and the joy as the vivid colours and gleaming, crystal-like sparkling rays pierce the moment and leave in their wake a soothing gratitude for life and nature. Even as the cloud then obscures the sun and rain pours forth, feel the vibrant energy of the storm that bring life to almost everything it touches and creatures of all groups stir into action, whether for safety, for shelter or for nourishment, it is a moment of extreme life, a burst of energy that stirs in me a sense of wholeness within myself and oneness with the whole universe.

How wonderful is nature, in all its aspects, the balance and the purity. Nothing is at odds; all is precisely as it should be, for even when the sun and rain bring death to plants and animals, new life is also born and the whole cycle begins once more. Nothing is every truly lost or broken, it merely passes into a new phase, a new beginning.
