Being with Nature Not long ago,
Nature was our clock.
It told us when to sow and when to reap.
The movements of the planets and the stars guided our movements here on the earth.
Now,
We busy ourselves in our towns and cities,
Expanding our concrete memorials to sophistication and driving around in our increasingly expensive turbocharged machines.
When the stress of this becomes too great,
We flee to the countryside on weekends to reconnect with nature and the therapy of its gentle pace and pure vibrations.
We don't notice the slight irony that as we walk across rolling hills amidst a chorus of songbird,
Just over the next hill we are knocking down and digging up nature's creation.
Once converted into energy,
We use it to power the modern metropolis in which we live for the other five days of the week.
So our love affair with the speediness of our machines,
Cars,
Planes,
Boats,
Etc.
And the noise that they make severs our connection with the natural world.
We have forgotten that the natural speed of the world is the speed of a cow.
Now for a few moments,
Become completely still and drop into your being.
Resist any urge for doing and just be.
Notice as you spend time with yourself,
You naturally align with the pace of nature.
The connection with the universe is gently being reestablished.
Just by being.
You harmonize with nature by slowing the speed of thinking.
