Extend
your gentle ways
to all creatures, beings
so that goodness, kindness blooms with
each breath.

Late winter is a wonderful time to consider the ways in which life wants to engage with us. We are emerging from the cocoon of snowdrifts and darkness with the sun's strengthening and lengthening daylight hours. What better time to re-consider the re-awakening world as one that is alive with potential to nurture and heal us of our sense of separation? What if we took some time to ponder the following excerpt and consider the sacredness of the natural world and the wonder of being an integral part of the living universe?
"At the cutting edge of contemporary science a remarkable insight is surfacing: the universe, with all things in it, is a quasi-living, coherent whole. All things in it are connected...A cosmos that is connected, coherent, and whole recalls an ancient notion that was present in the tradition of every civilization: it is an enchanted cosmos... We are part of each other and of nature...We are a conscious part of the world, a being through which the cosmos comes to know itself."
Ervin Laszlo
Too oft we forget how deeply it all is connected. When we do remember, we can once again care for each other and for the well being of this achingly beautiful, altogether mesmerizing world.
In peace,
Jill MacCormack
