The only thing that separates us from nature is our mind.
Move beyond the thinking being and expand into the infinite.

“Lots of people hardly ever feel real soil under their feet, see plants grow except in flower pots, or get far enough beyond the street light to catch the enchantment of a night sky studded with stars. When people live far from scenes of the Great Spirit’s making, it’s easy for them to forget His laws.”
–Tatanga Mani (Walking Buffalo), STONEY
Nature is life’s greatest teacher. The natural laws are hidden in nature. Hidden are solutions to everyday problems such as; conflict resolution, how to forgive, lessons about differences, how to manage organizations, how to think. Hidden are feelings. You can look at something and you will feel it. At night, have you ever looked at the sky when there are no clouds? As you look at all the stars, your heart will become very joyful. You will walk away feeling joyful and peaceful. We need to visit nature so we can see and feel these things.
My Creator, let me learn nature’s lessons.

What if our religion was each other.
If our practice was our life
If prayer, our words.
What if the temple was the Earth
If forests were our church
If holy water–the rivers, lakes, and ocean.
What if meditation was our relationships
If the teacher was life
If wisdom was self-knowledge
If love was the center of our being.

I woke this morning and decided to travel to the wilderness, to the lodge for lunch. What a glorious drive, the scenery incomparable.
Lunch was a beautiful giant pretzel with fondue, apples, cauliflower and onions. So good!
We were all gifted some sunshine while there too! Many folks were there for skiing.
There is much history here at the lodge.
A beautiful day, followed by a nice dinner with friend, music, and a lovely bath to end the evening once home.
A glorious day.
A blessing.
THEY FIND THEIR WAY INTO OUR HOMES LOOKING FOR SAFETY
WHEN YOU FIND A BUMBLEYBEE THAT CAN’T FLY, FIRSTLY YOU CAN PICK THEM UP – THEY WILL NOT STING UNLESS YOU HURT THEM AND ARE SAFE TO HANDLE
SECONDLY, POP THEM IN A TUB IF THEY WILL LET GO OF YOUR WARM HAND
THIRDLY, MIX WARM WATER AN SUGAR TOGETHER AND HOLD SOME IN A TEASPOON INFRONT OF THEM TO THEIR FRONT LEGGIES
THEY WILL EXTEND THEIR PROBOSCIS (INBUILT CURLY STRAW) AND DRINK.
THEN TAKE THEM OUTSIDE, THEY WILL GROOM, MAYBE PEE ON YOU AND WILL FLY OFF
WHEN THEY ARE SAT UNABLE TO FLY AND STICK THEIR LEGGIES IN THE AIR IT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE VULNERABLE AND TRYING TO FLY.
THEY ARE COLD AND NEED ENERGY
DO NOT GIVE THEM HONEY
KEEP THEM WARM AN FEED THEM SUGAR WATER
THIS SAVES A LIFE
… Smiling at the clouds
In total freedom
And trust
The divine nature
Holds all in its embrace
In the heart of a bustling city
In the soul of a forest
A glowing ray shines through
A lonely seagull glides over the ocean
While the desert sings its soulful song
A whisper
A cry
A child is born
And someone sheds a tear of joy
While
Somewhere else
Someone else
Cries tears of sadness
The world goes on turning
The divine nature present in all things.
