Over a long time taking pictures of the nature for a change (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“Yes is openness. Nature opens itself to everyone without discrimination. This universal generosity happens to us when we awaken to loving-kindness. Likewise, nature does not retaliate. The man who litters the beach may nonetheless catch a fish the same day. . . Nature is such a great resource in living yes: the model of yes and the gift of yes. Looking at a flower and honoring it as a guide, no just as something beautiful, helps us relate to nature in a creative way. This kind of upgrade in consciousness is how the subtle guidance from nature unfolds. A flower becomes a symbol of the tender life in us that can only grow by firm anchoring to the earth, by welcoming the seasons, and by passing without complaint through its phases. Then a rose is not just a rose but an escort to rebirth.”
