As I walk into my back yard, beneath my feet are dying leaves and rotting petals in the midst of transformation that are crushed by the weight of my body. The sound I hear as I crush their tender existence emits a mixture of sounds that are discernible only if I remain still in my centre.
I then observe the leafless trees, plants and shrubs that are scattered randomly on the evergreen grass. I realize in the moment of my observation the trees; plants and shrubs are not at all lifeless. Because I can feel the wintery womb of Mother Nature as she nurtures the embryos of the unborn seedlings that she will eventually give birth to when spring arises. She will send forth a multitude of new expressions of life to adorn the expectant parents that wait patiently in the landscape of my backyard.
Each expression will be unique and will learn to grow within the elements of our environment that the following seasons will bring. Each expression will live its life to its fullest potential because it knows nothing of separation as we do. It only knows it is connected and is here to express and experience itself just as it is.
Yes! I found the stories invoked so many different but deep emotional responses from me. A thoroughly great read!
As I read it years ago the one story that stuck with me is the one that goes something like this...
A couple had just bought home their new born baby daughter and they were a little worried about the son (aged maybe 3 or 4 cant remember?) who was having to adjust to not being the centre of attention since the new arrival.
After several failed appeals and pleadings by the to his parents to be with his baby sister alone. The parents finally allowed it, leaving the door ajar slightly as he walked across to his baby sisters crib. He then whispered into her ear. Please can you tell me what God looks like because Im starting to forget.
