I believe that mysterious power is LIFE and LIFE has a way of
drawing humanity toward it. It’s the same
with puppies and spring and sunrises.
They all represent new beginnings, hope, potential - and they captivate
us. We were designed to be drawn to LIFE
but can so easily get distracted, maybe blinded, by the dismal and despairing. Look at the news headlines and the content of
nightly TV dramas to see where we tend to give our focus.
The tulips in my yard are just beginning to open. To be honest, I forgot what color they were. For the last couple of weeks, I kept looking
at the green buds in anticipation of the day they would be revealed. Another example of LIFE calling out to
us. I am not sure why, but I feel it is
a crucial time for us to heed Its call.
Do not listen to the call of fear and hatred that would cause us to
dismay. Hear LIFE’s call in whatever way
It is speaking to you. Take hope. Believe in new beginnings. Grab potential…but maybe leave the pregnant
ladies alone.
Oh, and by the way, my tulips are yellow. How does LIFE call out to you?
For me it is truly an auditory experience - life LITERALLY calling: birdsong on my morning walk, frogs in the pond or owls nearby at dusk. Wind and water. What I hear often penetrates my consciousness before I see (although the smell of freshly cut grass or pavement after the first rain of autumn is a close second). I honestly think these things are ingrained at a cellular level, when the human race was created, from stardust, slime and primordial elements by a force and creator beyond our understanding, to remind us (when we take the time to listen) that we are linked to all that is around us. It is of us as well as for us, and we'd do well to be stewards of our home and those that are in it.
