Reflections… Rooted in Nature

By Ricky Roberts III

If you look at nature, you will notice how gracefully it flows with the ever-changing process of its elements. Take a moment to watch a tree on a windy day and see how it blows in the wind effortlessly. Observe a bird flying through the sky and notice how it doesn’t fight against the wind, but works with it to travel in the direction its heading. Watch a flower blossom, appreciate its beauty, and then recognize how the plant will release the flower with out attachment, with peace and grace.

Life will change. As seasons change the dynamics of a tree, the many different seasons in our lives will change the state of who we are just the same.

In the same way a tree remains rooted in mother earth, flowing freely with the different elements it may experience, we too shall root ourselves in the support of all that surrounds us, and trust that the storms that come are a part of the bigger purpose at hand.

When we are able to let go of our need to control the circumstances of life and surrender freely to the evolution of nature, in the same way a plant releases its blossoming flowers, or a bird glides with the wind and not against it, we will come to know the true nature of who we are—whole, beautiful and divine. If we root ourselves in the essence of who we are and what nature is, we will see that we are all one in the same.

Open your heart to the magic of this life and all that it has to offer you.
