I Have Never Noticed The Springing Of Spring In Such A Profound Way Before

In my 36 years of being alive, for the first time, this spring I have actually been able to pay attention to the springing of spring - and notice the buds on the trees and plants, and the birds singing, and the babies being born in the wilderness.

Everyone I hope that you're all doing amazing wherever you are in the world My name is boom Shekha and I welcome you to my channel as always I'm so grateful that you're listening subscribing and commenting.

I really appreciate the support and I'm so grateful because it is sunny today It is going to be 20 degrees high Which is a big deal It's springtime and that's one of the things I wanted to speak to you guys about today is This idea that has been floating around perhaps Among some people I don't know if everyone knows this idea But a lot of people have been thinking that the reason one of the reasons why the universe or the creator or you know Whatever you want to call it Sent us this pandemic is not only obviously to wake us up to the fact that we're not You know living the right kind of life and we really need to slow down and realize that there is another way We can't be treating the earth And the animals on earth like this anymore.

And so that's kind of a wake-up call for us but also I think a lot of the reason for us being put into this kind of lockdown,

You know We've I've said this before,

You know,

Like mother earth our mother Nature has sent us to our rooms to think about what we've done wrong and to give us this time to really go inwards and Ponder and reflect upon our lives upon the world upon everything that's going on in the world And I really think for me particularly has been especially Like eureka like moments so many really eureka like moments so many epiphanies have been kind of coming through because I thought that I was the kind of person who had already slowed down a lot I mean,

I meditate I do a lot of yoga.

I I do a lot of yoga nidra,

You know I'm really trying my level best every day to relax and to really come within myself and to And to be within myself so I can reflect upon what my life is all about and what I wanted to mean So I imagined that I was already there but really this pandemic and this lockdown has Accelerated that and kind of 10x'd it in a way because all of a sudden I am in this mode where I don't have to worry about going out anywhere and I don't have to make plans with people and I don't have to think about anyone else In that regard and I just what I can know what I can do is,

You know Do my work do my work in this manner where I give back in this way and then my writing and things like that but also it gives me a lot of time just to sit and And realize and think and and just be still and slow down a lot And as I said,

I thought I had slowed down a lot already But I slowed down even further and so I think I mean everyone is at a different rate Is working at a different rate and also is at a different starting point So a lot of people who were working at breakneck speeds,

You know A lot of people were working like really really hard had really fast-paced jobs and lives They were able to slow down a little bit as well and realize that they were not able to do that As well and realize oh,

Okay cool.

That's not how I want to live anymore or perhaps I do want to go back to it That's fine either way And then you know people who had already slowed down Like you and I perhaps,

You know,

We also got a little bit extra slowing down as well So we were pushed further to slow down even further and for the first time in my life for the first time and this is actually saying a lot because i'm 36 and so For 36 years.

I did not notice this but for the first time in my life.

I actually was able to observe the springing of spring,

You know,

Like the The beginning of spring actually notice it coming up slowly little by little and so for the last month that i've been here you know I go out for walks every day and You know at first it was winter at the end of winter and we had a couple of snow flurries and things like that and then eventually we were able to go through spring and so spring came is coming and it's still going through right now and there's so many hundreds of Hundreds of signs hundreds of little things that happen that show you that spring is coming up,

Right?

But in the past I never had the time the compunction the Just inclination perhaps to even look at these little signs or to care or perhaps I was so busy in my head That I wasn't able to slow down enough even though I was meditating.

I was still not slow enough But eventually right now in this moment in time,

I've literally been able to watch All of these little signs and all the little bugs coming up on the trees the little leaves popping out You know the robins giving laying eggs or the robins so many birds all of a sudden So much chirping and tweeting and you know all that and so it's like little by little i've been kind of observing the grass come up and the plants and the trees and it's just been so fascinating because as I said before this I never ever was able to See these changes happen.

No,

That's not right.

I wasn't not able to see them They were actually happening obviously all around me.

I just wasn't slowing down enough to even notice them Sometimes I would notice,

You know a bud come up here or there on a tree or a plant and I thought oh,

Right Spring is coming but it was never in the way in the intense manner and the Specific manner that i've been able to do it this time around and again as I said I think it's only because of the fact that i've been able to slow down even more so than before and really actually walk through the little parks and the trees near me and look at them and watch them and and remember them and think about them and And observe them,

You know,

And so there's a lot of stuff going on spring is obviously a time where?

Everything is just coming alive all of a sudden everything was asleep and hibernating for a long time And all of a sudden it's just coming alive and it's just so fascinating to me because I get to see it And it's happening right in front of me It's better than any reality tv show you might see because it's so fascinating to see All of this stuff that you imagined is dead but is not and it's just biding its time And for some reason or somehow it just knows it just knows automatically when it's time to wake up again Obviously in the changes in the seasons,

Obviously the changes in the sunlight But somehow it just knows and it starts and it just starts and it goes on its own schedule its own circadian rhythms And it keeps on going and you sit there and you observe it And as I said right now we have the time to observe it And so all of a sudden you realize there's all of the stuff that happens every single year Has been happening every single year for years and years decades centuries But maybe in the past we had enough time or we were able to observe it But now of course people are on their phones while they're walking even if they're doing their steps Their 10,

000 steps that a lot of people do every day They're not observing it,

They're not watching anything,

They're not looking at it They're just kind of on their phones or listening to an audiobook which is fine as well But for some reason all of a sudden as I said now Because of this time people are actually slowing down and then they're noticing all the stuff that they never noticed before And they're helping out people around them that they perhaps never even looked at before They're having conversations with their neighbors that perhaps they never even spoke to before And so all of a sudden all of this slowing down is kind of causing us to notice things that we never paid attention to before Even though they were there all the time every single year Perhaps all the time all the time around us right And so I'm really grateful,

I'm really really grateful actually And I for this particular thing that has been given to me this particular gift that has been given to me because of the pandemic I've gotten so many gifts over the years and I'm very lucky obviously but This particular thing that I've been able to see this spring It literally just rejuvenated my enthusiasm and love for nature and for for the earth in general I mean I love the earth in general anyway a lot before as well but just noticing this these little changes and the little Springing up of spring and little buds and leaves and all of these birds It's just for some reason it just kind of made me so happy and so ecstatic to be alive but also so connected to nature And I think that's what I think that's what I think a lot of us are missing as human beings is that connection that That deep integrated connection to mother earth and I think a lot of us that's one of the things that's going to come out of this Hopefully this pandemic is that connection to nature that that deep abiding you know that connection that As I said a lot of us are missing because we just don't have it Perhaps we don't have the time for it or we live in a concrete jungle or whatever it might be But just being next to just even just a tree if you just have a tree or a plant just noticing it Kind of coming up in nature coming up during spring kind of all of these little buds all these little tiny baby leaves Fresh green color.

I mean just it's just so magical.

It just feels like you're For me looking at it feel like i'm in a dream because it just feels so perfect and so beautiful and so ethereal So delicate it's just the beginning and it's it's gonna do it over and over again over the years Unless it dies of some random illness,

But it's just the tree and the plants will keep on doing it And they just know they just know when to pop up when spring is here And they just start the process all over again It just feels like I don't know for some reason for me just seeing that makes me feel so Integrated and so connected into the whole framework of this world of this earth that I just I feel I don't know what it is.

I just wanted to share this with you guys this feeling of Great gratitude this this connectedness this This awe that I have for nature right now and for for spring and for the beauty of spring I never ever noticed the beauty of spring before Not in this intent not at this intensity for sure for sure And so I hope I hope this is kind of useful to you or that you enjoyed it.

I just wanted to share it with you Perhaps you're feeling exactly the same As well,

Perhaps you're not I don't really know but I just wanted to share my sentiments because I want to kind of lock it into this video and perhaps in the future when When i'm not able to observe spring in such manner I would want to come back to the video and this video and watch it and realize that I was able to See it in such a profound manner and I I felt such a connection to it Again,

Thank you so much for watching for being on my channel.

I really appreciate the support And I shall see you guys next time around Bye for now
