Intention in Difference

"Can you remember 

who you were

before the world

told you

who you should be?"

OSHO

The leaves falling from the autumn tree are all different in color, age, and shape, just like we are as human beings. Mother Nature's message is vibrantly clear, "There is intention in difference."  We have abilities not meant to be in competition.  The challenge is to create the best of who we can be with our individual gifts and talents.

An oak leaf does not endeavor to morph into a maple leaf, and we waste our energy when we try to be something we are not meant to be.  In order to grow in beauty, we seek within ourselves for strengths and weaknesses.  We are best equipped when we can balance our abilities as one solid force.  

When we walk in nature throughout autumn, we are overwhelmed by the beauty as our eyes automatically embrace varying colors.  We have a growing appreciation for the diversity amongst the trees and feel ourselves enhanced by the blending of hues.  

So it is with human beings.  We are not meant to be the same. Artificial layering needs to be discarded.  Borrowed labels and behaviors need to be cast off so we are free to design our very own style.  The expectation is to be unique.  When we utilize the tools we already have, we unfold in a natural way.  We create an original work of art that will blend with others, not in competition nor duplication.  We create a forest of beautiful autumn colors, collectively admired.
