Time is moving quickly, some days rush by before I even get a chance to stop and take in the beauty.
I thank God for birds, quickly seeing them on telephone wires on a busy day keeps me connected to the natural world-the real world. I need this world, I can't imagine life without it. Nature ushers in peace, stillness, silence of the mind. In the woods and by the waters side is where I see things clearly, where I know God.
I couldn't imagine being trapped in the world of cities where advertisements bombard me telling me constantly of all the things I need for a better life. Obviously they know nothing of what a soul needs for they don't speak of the natural world-of the places I escape to to be alive. They only speak of what money can buy and on what the flesh thrives, but I need to keep my spirit alive if one day I want to fly and truly leave this world behind.
So I cry out to the human race-don't listen to their lies, don't waste your life-there's so much beauty behind the guise, so much love we'd see if we chose to look one another in the eyes and not so quickly pass each other by.
Yesterday I drove down a street, big houses were on either side of me, telephone lines hovered over the sidewalks, but these are things I only quickly saw. What I was really looking at was the trees. And the trees were even bigger than the houses and telephone wires-they've been here longer. But they weren't like the trees you meet in the forest, they were twisting and bending between the telephone wires and homes, growing around us, providing us shade and taking the carbon that our homes and cars put into the air out and in return giving us clean air to breathe.
And I thought this was the most beautiful thing I had seen on this day and my prayer was that other people may see this too and that maybe we as humans could start to twist and bend to help save the planet and that maybe if we did this we wouldn't have to look so hard to see all the beautiful things in the world.
