Nature rules

Never seen that before

Some sight in nature of an outstandingly awesome or unusual variety

.

Then drip drip the thought comes is this dangerous, bad news perhaps?

Is this more of global warming, climate change?

Is this a portent of some more nasty stuff coming down the road?

More subtle fear, more stress, because we do not know

Then we listen to the experts giving their opinions about this

We listen uneasily knowing that they do not really understand

Sensing that they do not have the answers

Life goes on

Until the next time..

Communications being so fast today we hear bad news almost instantaneously

Floods, earthquakes, fires, tsunamis you name it all around the planet

One after another

Adding drip by drip to the stress we carry

Over time this stress must damage

Damage our immune systems, our feeling of well being

Then learn to let go

Learn to love nature not fear her

Why?

Because wherever we are nature is around us offering solace and comfort

Thoughtlessly though we look at TV images of nature in extremis

Without asking who or what provoked this?

When nature is violent it is teaching us not to abuse

Not to take her for granted

Respect with awe her power

Learn to relax in her beauty

Her seasons

Her complex interactions

Everything we have comes from her

Our lives are at her whim

Time we paid conscious respect

Appreciate what nature is around you no matter how modest it might appear

Nature is always honest

Man might be dishonest, nature never

Which is why we find something important in nature

Something we do not find in the same way with each other

Nature, nurture, nature.
