As another weekend dawns, I wanted to share something from The Journey Home with you all:
Of weather and man
“To what level is nature aware of man’s existence?
Trees waver as the sky roils and the ground shakes, yet another storm thunders through.
Clouds form angry shapes as my notebook and I wonder if nature cares that man exists….
Animals know of course, but what about Mother Nature?
Wind, rain and lightning strike with a vengeance, as if divine retribution, cleansing the land of the ills inflicted upon it. And yet the clouds eventually fade, the sun returns and again we have peace….
Without storms would we truly appreciate the sunshine? Maybe war, like storms, is inevitable so we appreciate peace…. But what of karma?
Heavy thoughts… far too heavy to carry this close to Solstice…. The entire world’s been invited to Summer Solstice, a scant thousand will make the journey….
What if though, what if that thousand went back to their corner of the world and shined so bright that they each in turn drew a thousand to them, who one by one stood tall and declared, “I am the lighthouse!” What if?
To be at peace or to become the storm is a choice we all face every moment of every single day. Choose peace and be the lighthouse.
Sat Nam.”
In service,
