A reading in Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Simple Abundance mirrors what I personally feel about our intricate relationship with nature. It is an appreciation that is shared by many across our planet – especially in cultures that have a strong nature base.
In essence she says that our personal world should have its own sense of balance as demonstrated in our natural world. “Think of the steady, reassuring rhythm of the natural world – the ebb and flow of the tides, the recurring cycle of the four seasons, the monthly phases of the moon, and the daily progression from day into night.”
It doesn’t take much for us to realize that nature provides phenomenal examples that reflect the movement in our individual lives. We’re in constant flux even when we think we’re being still.
One of Love Is A Mountain’s seasonal retreats – Metamorphosis – takes a popular and mesmerizing example from the butterfly. The winter season wraps us up in a cocoon, that may appear to be in a state of inertia and then gently releases us into the new life we call spring.
Nature is so intriguing – make her the love of your life too!
