Yearnings and Passion

 

"The world is but a canvas to our imagination."

Henry David Thoreau

As the sprinkler rotates, I watch the water splash upon the thirsty grass.  Round and round the water sprays with intention to nurturing the earth.  The patch of green earth is unaware of the source from which water falls.

This creates a reflection of how the heavens above offer blessings to us, hoping to nurture and stimulate.  When we cast our eyes willingly to the never ending sky, the clouds are like prompts simply passing by.   It is in the lifting of our eyes, that we begin to see.

Rather than fill our hearts with yearnings, we can gather aspects of what exists.  We are surrounded by nature offering both lessons and teachers.  As we open our hearts and embrace both raindrops and sunbeams, our passion and simple understanding expands.
