I am
often touting the efficacy of our interconnection not only to each other, but
to nature herself.
For too
long we modern humans have taken for granted, ignored and abused the very
nature that feeds, cures and shelters us. We forget there is a symbiotic
relationship between all life and we are all in service to each other.
The
native peoples of the world see it differently. They acknowledge with thanks
the life they take for food. They vocally appreciate the plants they take for
medicine and sustenance and they are careful not to take all so that the nature
kingdoms and the phylum families can replenish what is harvested.
Modern
minds have forgotten that appreciation is a viable link between species and
kingdoms and that giving thanks connects all of us to the One Source of All
That Is.
The
Findhorn experiment surprised science years ago, that a new age community
working with nature divas and angelic spirits and compost could grow unusual
plants, fruits and vegetables in the inhospitable climate of Northern Scotland.
Findhorn’s
secret, if you need to call it that, was to acknowledge a plant kingdom and
diva caretaker existence, listen to their needs, and say, “thank you.”
I bring
all this up to offer a consideration.
What if
the occasional story of a Dolphin saving a human from a shark attack, of pet
dogs protecting a lost child in the woods with the warmth of their bodies, or
of a food source appearing and sacrificing its life in time of great hunger,
what if all these unusual happenings are nothing other than a way to get our
attention to acknowledge our interconnection to all things?
What if
disease is a way to get our attention?
What if?
I’m just asking!
