I'm standing between two trees acknowledging the space we share.
I look up, perfect view of the sky. I look beyond, perfect view of the horizon. I'm in awe as a perfect breeze grazes my skin. There's something here ... clarity, purity, happiness.
I feel so much love from these trees ... or is this love coming from me?
How lucky I am to share this scenic view. No other words, no other feeling, but gratitude for these two.
Have you ever wondered the length of time plants grow alongside each other in nature?
The wind blew their seeds near, they grew in harmony. Their placement was known, there they would thrive best.
The beginning was their biggest battle ... roots tangle as they grow around one another. Leaves fight as they reach for sunlight. But they continue to share, love.
To respect individuality, space must be shared to stimulate growth.
Plants show love by sharing their space. Humans, with the benefit of thought, show love by sharing actions and words.
Actions speak louder than words? If that is so, would nature enjoy that we invade its space before sharing words of appreciation first? Would plants grow the same before sharing words of encouragement first?
Three jars of rice ... speak negative to one, rice turns brown; speak positive to one, rice stays clear; speak nothing to the other, rice is stagnant.
We shy away from words because speaking is the most powerful action.
To enjoy silence with ourselves is important; but with others, we must share our precious gift of words. Sharing them from our heart allows our surroundings to remain clear.
