How to connect with Spirit Outdoors



There is nothing more revealing, raw and sacred than the natural truth found in nature. (To me), this is “Spirit”/”God”/”The all”…
and we can all use a large dose of what Nature holds for us –

There are no secrets when you choose to engage with the natural surroundings. In order to appreciate life, it only takes a moment in the beauty and to treasure the simple complexities of our landscape with the life that occupies it.

The most amazing thing is how it all reflects –

It is said that imitation is the highest form of a compliment – 
Well, emulation is found all around us (which can make me feel very small.) And in this space of smallness (vulnerability) is a beautiful truth, no matter how you look, what you do, how you live – we, you and I are that reflection. The repetition is uncanny with the mind-blowing geometry and rhythm and the connection of the song is undeniable.

Being in and with nature is the quickest way to re-connect when feeling separated from your faith, and the chaos of urban noise has you agitated. The rhythmic sounds are everywhere and can quietly calm even the most restless and angry Soul. There is music in the silence, and the rage of the sea. 

From the tiniest microorganism to the oldest tree, from debts of the ocean to the stars in the sky the wonderment can take your breath away. And as it does, you get to replenish each breath with clarity –
The music sings the melody of the creator; it is the pulse of the entire Universe as is it dances, drink it in.

When the Buddha said, “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
I see this as meaning these things are always present, as is our total connection.
…And (to me) there is nothing more comforting than knowing the Sun and the Moon will always rise no matter where I am or how many clouds are over me –

The truth of purpose is found in our own nature, and brought out even more when accept the synchronicity of it all.
Nature has a way of bringing it to light, to the heart as directed by Spirit. Reconnect.

Listen to the melody... (dl) 360 degrees of inspiration ( full circle)
