“

All nature that we behold is the mother aspect of God, because in nature we find beauty, gentleness, and kindness. The flowers, birds, and the beauties of nature all speak of the Mother aspect of God—the creative motherly instinct of God. When we look at all the good things in nature, we feel a tenderness rise within us; we can see and feel God in nature.

The Divine Mother is so beautiful! But remember, in Her higher manifestation even that beauty is formless. She is in everything. Her divine, compassionate love is expressed in the raindrops. Her beauty is reflected in the colors of the rainbow. She offers fresh hope to mankind with the rose-tinted clouds at dawn.

Above all, be ever conscious of Her presence in your heart.

”

“Love is a balm that contains the power of healing and of renewing and of everlasting life within its effulgent essence. Love is the great refiner and beautifier. Love is more! Love is the key to every door. It is the creative reality behind every righteous desire and every ardent hope. Love is the cohesive power of the universe as it binds together atoms and substance. It holds families together—the world and the entire universe. If love were withdrawn all things would fall apart and disintegrate. When a human being eliminates love from his life he too begins to fall apart. Love is not only eternal but it is the most desirable element to possess.” —Analee Skarin (via bodymindandsoul)

“The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see… No, wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, as vital to our lives as water and good bread.” —Edward Abbey (via bodymindandsoul)

“He who knows his soul knows this truth: “I am beyond everything finite; I now see that the Spirit, alone in a space with Its ever-new joy, has expressed Itself as the vast body of nature. I am the stars, I am the waves, I am the Life of all, I am the laughter within all hearts, I am the smile on the faces of the flowers and in each soul. I am the Wisdom and Power that sustain all creation.” —Paramahansa Yogananda (via bodymindandsoul)

Young Great Blue Heron

image

I believe this is not a Little Blue Heron, but a young Great Blue Heron. The colorings indicate this as far as I can tell.

This one is midstep, revealing it’s under feathers.

“The universe is composed of subjects to be communed with, not objects to be exploited. Everything has its own voice. Thunder and lightning and stars and planets, flowers, birds, animals, trees—all these have voices, and they constitute a community of existence that is profoundly related.” —Thomas Berry (via commondense)

Civilization!

This artifact of the human body’s need to hydrate was photographed on the same duckweed that these Black-bellied Whistling Ducks were nesting:

image

We can hydrate with reusable bottles we own. My son and I see our natural areas littered with too much human waste…waste that doesn’t have to be created in the first place, or it can be properly disposed. (Scroll down on this page to see multiple pictures of this family of ducks.)

Plastic is made from oil. Oil isn’t consumed only to run our cars. In fact oil is in an astounding number of products.

This is what the sign said about the giant tire seen here:

I’m speechless!

What kind of world will he be living in?
