Nature

.
Nature is perfect.
The way it responds to its cycles ~ the seasons, but also the cycle of the moon with its effect on the waters of the earth ~ the manner in which it expresses itself wherever and whenever it can; the fact that it always comes back... takes over again the places it was banished from before. Without feeling guilty or resentful about having been banished in the first place... Never getting stuck in a sense of disappointment that it wasn’t welcome; that it could have done so much more if only...

Nature is perfect.
It knows it strength without having the need to boast about it. It realizes how powerful its energy is ~ whether it is allowed to flourish or not. It never has the desire to dominate. And whenever it engages in competition this is not done from a perspective that aims to harm its competitor, but only to allow the strongest, best adapted expression of itself to move forward in a changing world... And consequently the weaker competitor is not a loser; it just takes on a different role in the cycle of nature ~ knowing full well that both roles are needed in the grand scheme of things.

Nature is perfect.
Without fail it gives exactly that which is needed at that very moment. It gives freely and abundantly. Not only the oxygen in the air we breathe, but also the sense of peace when we are walking through nature; the joy of colors and sounds. It gives without ever having a second thought, without ever wondering what it gets back for its efforts ~ how it will get ‘repaid’ for what it gives abundantly.

We may not always like how or where nature expresses itself. We tend to take out the weeds from the garden. Like the manicured version of nature better than its wild variety. Yet, whether we like it or not, the plants we call ‘weeds’ do return. Nature doesn’t give up on itself...
We also may not be particularly fond of nature’s cycles ~ finding that we have a preference for one season over another. We can have a tendency to always want something different than what is here, now.

We often find ourselves having a hard time accepting. Accepting who we are, what we are, what we aim to accomplish, and that we are doing a good job with our achievements. We may feel that we are not doing enough ~ getting stuck in a sense that we are less than perfect...

Nature is. And its actions are based in that state of being and directed by the desire to express its potential to the fullest extend possible...
