Nature Knows Your Name
What? Wait! Why would it recognize me?
Side bar here, let’s address the question I suspect is making your brain itch. What happened with all the expenses in Robbing Peter to pay Paul? How did the Universe balance the math equation that didn’t add up?
While I lived in the peace and calm of knowing, God was managing assets behind the scenes. First, it started with a bucket of money I’d forgotten. But pay dirthit when in a single month, my investments grew enough to pay for my surgery twice. (My financial guy is a market genius!) It came without fireworks, fanfare, or a booming voice from heaven. It was a silent surprise hidden among pages of numbers, trades, and stock symbols.
That’s often how it happens. God provides from a direction you didn’t see coming. Now back to this week’s story.
The familiar feeling we can’t explain
Why does wrapping your arms around a redwood tree feel like you’re hugging an old friend?
Why does sitting at the ocean’s edge watching the tide go out soothe you to your core?
Why does the sunset feel so personal like it can read your mind, comprehend your heart, and speak a language only your soul understands?
The tree has never met you, and the ocean doesn’t suspect why you’re watching. Yet there seems to be a familiar sentiment making connection. You haven’t shared your story with the sunset, yet it speaks to you. It even celebrates you as the green flash of light off the ocean applauds in the sun’s final setting moments...like it doesn’t truly want to say good night.
The lie of separation
In the next episode of Deborah’s Dialogues Podcast, Deborah reveals the interdimensional web that connects us all.
When did we decide we are separate? Was it when we learned we are not a tree? Or is it because we are not born from a seed planted in soil? Could it be because we are not delivered by pecking our way out of an eggshell that we see ourselves as separate? Different does not equal separate, although we learned to see it that way.
The power that grows the trees, is the same power that beats your heart.
The same power that gives us life, grows the trees, fills the oceans and sets the sun each afternoon. We are all part of a global environment, an ecosystem of energy, awareness, and indissoluble connection.
We are not separate. Not separate from nature, from each other, or even from God. Only our perception made it so. That familiar feeling stirs something inside gently reminding you, there is no distance between us. You feel it when the redwood greets you, when the ocean quiets your mind, and the sunset speaks to your soul.
