The universe was here long before you were, and it is likely to be here long after you die. The planet, and the entire universe can survive without human interference. The natural world works itself out – even the messy parts always seem to come together, beautifully, and just as they should. Butterflies know how to find food, birds know where to fly, the stars and galaxies know how to do their thing out in the cosmos. Everything takes care of itself so perfectly. This natural element of existence lives in you too and it wants you to understand this truth.
If you begin to think more broadly, you’ll be able to see how nature eventually untangles itself. What you see as a problem or an obstacle, nature knows as ebb and flow. Forest fires, for example, disseminate the landscape, but not many days later, new seedlings sprout and a more vivid and lush landscape returns – all by itself. The forest need not plea for help to recover. And you need not plea and beg for help in your life. Help always comes if you relax and allow it to.
There may seem to be situations in your life that feel impossible, hopeless, confusing. It’s only because you don’t understand the will of nature, which is to always provide. The will of nature is often one that our desires and emotions do not affect. The will of nature has its own timing and its own way of doing things. It has its own solutions to problems. Wisdom, ideas, and actions all come when they are needed. The timing of all things behaves like flower buds. They bloom on their own schedule. What you need in life blossoms at the behest of its own natural flow.
Things in your life will bloom when they are ready to. If death comes to you before that – so be it. Death is also a natural flow of life for which we have no control. Allow the next steps to arrive when they want to. You can never rush nature. Humans have tried that for too long. Work on getting out of its way for a change. Realize this truth, today, and be at peace waiting for things to flower – on their own time, and in their own way. The key is not to get anxious or irritated at nature – nature is immune and unresponsive to our compulsive urges. Today, embrace the natural component of who you are and rest assured that it always works out – always.
