Life

     It's Spring here in Minnesota and it is amazing. Life is coming from all directions and the sun is so warm and gentle. In my life right now, there is so much hope for the world that I am bursting. The coming of new life has opened my heart once again and the dark places have been lit.  This reminder of Spring, this reminder of life and nature has left me without words. When everything seems to be going down hill in the world, life still goes on. The plants still grow, the sun still rises, and the rivers and streams still run. Even in the places where there has been great destruction, the smallest most precious plant will still try to make it's way into the world. Life is abundant. Everywhere. And I tell myself,  I can't wait until everyone can feel this joy. I can't wait until the world can feel abundant to everyone. Where no one suffers. Where humans can be as alive and bright as the plants and animals around us. Shouldn't we be able to thrive too?



Our Earth has so much to say. So many lessons. We need to listen more. Breath more and live more with the Earth.


     These are my latest thoughts. An open heart and love is the only thing that is going to heal this Earth and ourselves. I hope that this made you feel and think. I also hope that when you read this, you want to go outside and embrace this gift of life. The gift that even when everything is going wrong, we still have a patch of grass, or a garden, or even the sky, or a place to put our feet. To be grateful that we are not just floating around like meaningless dust. We have meaning. We are life. Life has meaning.
