Yesterday afternoon while mowing the grass, I was awestruck by the sheer wonder of our apple tree in full bloom. I marveled at its ability to just re-do this every year....faithfully. It is simply incredible, that from grey barren branches such beauty explodes....Yearly. Over and over again, it does what an apple tree does, without prompting or urging. It hold nothing back and boldly expands to it highest state!
Today's lesson in A Course In Miracles, it said, "All things that live bring gifts to you and offer them in gratitude and gladness at your feet. The scent of the flowers is their gift to you. The waves bow down before you, and the trees extend their arms to shield you from heat, and lay their leaves before you on the ground that you may walk in softness, while the wind sinks to a whisper round your holy head."
I feel this.
I am grateful for the bountiful amounts of wonder that all living things give.
Nature is quite remarkable, it just blooms, whether you notice or not. It takes my breath away. I am surrounded and lavished with it....all around our home...
"All things that live...bring gifts to you."
