"Enlightenment for a wave is the moment the wave
realizes that it is water. At that moment,
all fear of death disappears."
Thich Nhat Hanh
As human beings evolve with increased brilliance, perhaps we make things too complicated, to complex, and therefore not easy to be understood by all of man kind. I think of Ina Gartner the Food Net Work guru and all of her recipes using special ingredients. The bottom line, however, is we must learn to feed each other for peaceful survival.
Common sense is just that. As children we are taught not to call names and not to hit others, but apparently we are watching actions that speak louder than words. We fill our lovely selves with things that poison our mind, body and soul. We drift further from the common sense of oneness to thoughts of constructing walls of separation.
This past spring while planting flowers I noticed all of the layers of the ground. I gently spread the roots to each plant and tenderly nestled them into the multi layered earth. It struck me then ... in that moment ... I was completely connected with nature. In a flash of space there was nothing to fear as I knew we were all holding each other.
