Nature is not a place to visit, it is home.

There comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other.

Blessed be the animals, the citizens of a planet without borders, the neighbors we see in all their variety and beauty. Blessed be the forests, the trees and the plants, who breathe for the whole world each day. Blessed are the waters, the rivers and seas, the liquid life that connects us all wherever we are. Blessed are the ancient stones, the keepers of secrets, in whose life story is written our own, as long or brief as it may be. Blessed be the Earth, the good Mother, the only home we have.

We are always part of something, belonging to a greater wholeness. In fact, we always stand deeply connected with the entire world around us…Nothing can thrive in seclusion. We all depend on each other and we are nurtured in the web of connectedness—organically and in consciousness.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.

All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We do not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.
~ Albert Einstein

Oh Spirit of the west
In the colorful sunsets that autumn brings
May I see myself as the spirit that I am
In the passing seasons of mother nature
May I know that I am one with her breath
In the crisp sounds of falling leaves
May I become aware of my connection with all lives
And may my heart sing in thankfulness for the bounty of the earth
~ Josiane Antonette

The silence of landscape conceals vast presence. Place is not simply location. A place is a profound individuality. Its surface texture of grass and stone is blessed by rain, wind, and light…The shape of a landscape is an ancient and silent form of consciousness. Mountains are huge contemplatives. Rivers and streams offer voice; they are the tears of the earth’s joy and despair. The earth is full of soul.

Let’s keep pouring light into each other, into all things and all situations. At a time where change is all around us and we are not sure what we can do, simply pour light in. Love wins.

Doing what we can is the crucial understanding … we might not be able to make all the changes that are necessary and we might not be able to make changes as fast as we’d like, but we can begin with a small step, like planting a seed…
What is one thing you can do today to ease the pain of someone else? Make it very small, very simple. Do it today.
~ Diane Mariechild

Truth be told, the entire world is conscious. The whole Universe is made of consciousness or “God-stuff”, even supposedly inanimate objects like rocks. As more and more people break the shackles of the false selves and realize their true natures, interspecies communication, including both animal communication and plant communication, will become more and more common.

All we do our whole lives is go from one little piece of holy ground to the next.

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement, [to] get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
