A little diary entry for nature
What did I learn today…..
Monday the 9th of December:
Today, I learned the importance of beauty, in contemplating beauty we contemplate ourselves. Today I contemplated many elements of the world’s resounding true beauty – mother nature. With the ocean, I felt her playful, dynamic, nurturing and stubborn traits in various interactions. With the start of the day, she picked me up and moved me from the people ever so playfully, making me laugh as I was gently danced to the far right of her flags. Close to shore, her depth stayed deep - enough so that I saw schools of fish swimming in the waves coming towards me (nothing of an unusual nature for the past few days – awe still remains), feeling like I was a part of their family as they danced around me while my feet forgot the comfort of sandy ground. She always knows the perfect way to help me connect with her again, in full consciousness and appreciation, while making me feel so safe – it’s almost as if she caters to my needs depending on the day, and I know I will forever cater to hers. In the afternoon, I felt her gentle caress with small soft white-wash waves enveloping me at a distance. After a smile inducing swim, I gazed adoringly at the waves that would tower over 3 of me stacked alike, big and powerful, but not at all obnoxious or aggressive, playful and loud - harmonious in her adoption of the sand bank below. She created the perfect visual embodiment of yin and yang - a seamless unity between water and earth. How she so graciously holds each one of us, makes us feel so uniquely special in our own experience with her, is something my gratitude will never cease to exist for. I sometimes wonder if she feels hurt by the amount of people that let her beauty pass by. But I know the love of those that capture her is stronger. For if it was me and the seas, or the rainforests alike – I could write about her all day and all night. You’d be a minority if your days were able to be spent laying on the beach or in the middle of a forest, which I hope to be edging towards slowly, but with maturity I’ve realized even the smallest moments appreciating mother gaia, even if just for the slither of a moment, can be cherished equally. It’s the time you pay to that moment/moments that matters. Maybe you’re walking to work in the morning and you catch the soft, gentle, illuminating sun on the back of a tree, you hear her leaves rustling ever so slightly - creating a melodic song, all the while a bee hums quietly in the distance as she captures a sweet sip of nectar for her queen. Let these moments sing you to sleep. Never forget you are never alone with mother nature on your side. So, treat her with respect, as she has been there for us even when we haven’t returned the favour, make her the front of your favours now.
I also learned like 80 other amazing things but my hands are tired from typing so I guess that’s all you get and the rest if for me and my pretty little brain! Oh I also learned how sexy it is to be alone (not feel alone, because I literally never feel alone). And I’ve known this for years, but like I blew my mind out of my body with how much I achieved it today. And if you guys (the literal zero people I share this link with) ever feeling alone, just go do yourselves a favour and connect with our literal mother, she’s liCHRALLY holding us all RIGHT NOW. Incredible. Ugh. I can’t. The gratitude is pouring out of my seams. WHAT DO I DO!!! Actually, I need to use it for purely intended higher good of the world manifests so peace out ya’ll. Go save the world please xxxxx march, protest, pray, write, sing, dance, volunteer, cook, create, use your power in ALL of it!
