 Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here. |

NURTURE your NATURE  Nature can nurture our writing, can nurture our soul. What is the language of Nature? And how do we learn it? We look at the natural wonders around us and do not see them, hear, taste nor smell them. They do not touch us anymore than we dare touch them. And then we wonder why we feel so dead. To breathe in and live like a child again opens the Land of Wonderment. It's still there after all these years.   |
"Why do some people find it so hard to trust God’s plan with their lives?" "Take up Your Cross Blog Forum"  (July 9th prompt)Some false assumptions: 1. God knows. God cares. 2. I know what God wants. 3. God wants what I want. God knows in a universal way. How that applies individually is beyond my reckoning. God cares in a universal way. God has never abandoned humanity and constantly gives us Guidance (which in our hubris we ignore). But the answer is NO! to 2 & 3. We do not KNOW except in a general way. And we are mentally/spiritually ill if we think we are the center of the universe. So what to do? Some seek answers deep within themselves. Some make sure they follow societal norms. Both approaches have limits. Humans are a social animal and society cannot be dismissed as a mere inconvenience. But humans are also not lemmings and the adventurous and questioning human has resulted in great societal advances. And the Depths of the Soul are greater than the Oceans. It's hard for many religious people to accept that the most loving individual in the room may be the Atheist and the ethical one an Agnostic. Even worse if that person is a member of a rival gang! Y'know Team Christian versus Team Heathen facing off in a Cosmic Olympics (fortunately contained to a small insignificant planet; popcorn supplied by the Alien non-competitors). Ah... so much easier when we accept that God loves us (belief not necessary) as in "all of us" as in "our souls" not limited to whether we won a beauty contest or a weight-lifting gold (Go Philippines!). Yes, the simple answer is easy. So I have a question for all'y'all: WHY DO YOU KEEP TRYING TO PISS HER OFF! Posted in "Blogville " ~295 words 1,098 |
