If you look around
You will find the answer in the patterns
Of fern leaves spiraling from a pod
And the shadow cast on the ground at noon
As you see the truth in nature you see the truth in what you must believe in
If you look around you will find
Pleasure is a celebration of feeling
It is the luxury earned by creating time to be in the moment
With no ghostly pain of injury lurking
Murking up the present with a reminder
Of the injuries endured deep in the past
Or in recent history
Without healing these pains
They follow us around
Chiming out there presence as a bell on the horizon
Vague enough for us to operate with the belief that they re gone
Until
We have a moment to sit and be ~
Safe
Loved
Ecstatic
Enough to hear that chime in contrast with the bliss that we all
Are inherently due
If you look around you can see people distracting themselves from the horizon and the bells tolling in their past
Wounded and not seeing the need for healing
The pattern remains that
Nature will reveal all of life's beauty but we have to be in it to
See!
