Peace Lessons from Nature

Nature is a great source of Peace.

Parker Palmer in Let Your Life Speak says,"From nature's profligate seeding (in fall) to the great spring giveaway, nature teaches us a steady lesson; if we want to save our lives, we cannot cling to them but must spend them with abandon."

"Profligate", "great giveaway"and "abandon"! Nature's greatest lesson for us may be EFFORTLESS, UNATTACHED GENEROSITY. Not to mention the ability to move gracefully from season to season, holding each as a gift and part of a whole.

Are you enjoying this season? Oh, and I highly recommend Parker Palmer's book.

Love,

Darlene
