On my way to work, on what is considered a "gloomy" day because of the rain, grey sky and cold hard wind and yet I'm in complete awe of the beauty all around me. I can now understand why artists choose nature as their inspiration.
Allow me to set up the scenery for you. Imagine all the different shades of yellow from lemon to mustard then to beautiful browns and reds, purple too! Those were trees standing at attention in all different shapes and sizes. Ever really stopped to think how is it that the earth knows what to do and when to do it? Sure it's called nature - and nature is created by God. The seasons all have a purpose which include bringing us back to our quiet place. For those who've been to The Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Central Park, Rockland Lake, Botanical Gardens, the beach, anyplace where there is nothing but nature has a peaceful quieting effect that is not by coincidence!
We must get back to a state of remembering we are one and the same - one race - the human race. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. You'll understand this the next time someone acts "human" towards you. You but need to remind yourself it's a test. You'll pass the test by maintaining your peace which in essence will bring to awareness the need for attack is never justified and so is never needed. This may seem impossible but nothing is impossible with God. This is the core teaching of all the books and studies of faith and religion yet the lifestyle is in complete contradiction to it.
Please know just because your life situation seems to be going down an unhealthy path and/or you've been there for quite some time, it doesn't have to continue that way. It stops the minute you choose to focus your energy on helping or encouraging someone else who's worse off than you. By helping others is really how you'll help yourself which will bring back love, respect, trust, and peace to families, neighborhoods, cities, states, countries, nations, continents - the earth.
Until then find some time today to enjoy nature, true beauty. It's good for the mind, spirit and soul. PEACE
