The cranes were whooping loudly, and a hawk circled overhead this morning. God was speaking to me through nature. It was about not reacting to my neighbor who lives behind us. She had hired a team to cut down the beautiful canopy of a tall old hardwood tree in my next door neighbor's yard. It was heartbreaking to watch. I found myself beginning to boil inwardly, always a sign that I have moved away from Spirit and have aligned more with the illusory material world.
So, nature was putting a check on my reactions. I had to silently pray not to have the angry feelings I did. I remembered how a tree is only a concept of a perfected idea of God in the spiritual realm. So what I was seeing really had no power to destroy a perfect idea of God. I must say, this took a lot of work, but I didn't like the way I was feeling about her. I was surprised I had so much hidden anger in me...so the sandhill cranes were whooping loudly. Always a message not to disturb the environment with more negative thinking. And the lone hawk circling, a message to rise above it all and see the bigger picture.
The timing couldn't have been worse (or better) as I was preparing to finish my book on spiritual lessons I've learned from nature.
So, dear friends, whatever is looming in front of you today, try to follow as best you can the calling of nature, and go within to connect with the truth of who you are and what you really are doing here on this earth plane.
Enjoy your day with the Angels. And remember,
"Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God."
