The Joy of Earth’s Beauty
Life on Planet Earth is challenging. Mired in matter and all too often ruled by greed it is often known as a veil of tears. Love, the universal principle of our spiritual being is obscured by our desire nature, our glamour’s and illusions. Suffering and a sense of separateness keep us from experiencing the joy that is available to us if we could just break free to access the fullness of our being.
Meditation can reveal the potential of joy that resides within us, but sorrow and suffering are triggered by so many events and so much of the negative offerings of our mind chatter that is easy to slip away from the consciousness of our Soul’s nature as we return to life even from the most exalted of meditative experiences. It seems unfair that we, the citizens of planet earth should be so rationed.
Yet, as I ponder this I realize as I look around that we have been blessed with the portal to thousands of joys by the beauty that surrounds us. From the first glows of the light of dawn to the last streaks of the sunset across the sky, beauty is available to us. To the verdant green of the rainforest to the windswept sands of the Sahara, and in way the light is captured by the ripples in the water all around this planet, the gift of beauty is here for us as a portal to joy if we only choose to take advantage.
Within the myriad of manifestations of life on this planet, plants, flowers, birds and insects, water and clouds and the whole of nature combine to offer up to us the potential to portal to joy by observing and appreciating the vast and awesome beauty that surrounds us every minute of every day.
If we take a pause to look around us we can see this reminder of the joy that is available to us. If we draw in our breath, or feel the gentle movement of the air that surrounds us we can open our eyes to beauty. This beauty can open us to joy.
Take a minute to just breathe in and appreciate all the beauty that is here for us in life. It is there for us in each moment no matter what sorrows batter our lives. It is free for the taking as a gift from life to every man, woman or child who walks on this earth. And no matter how caught up we get in our busyness, our stresses and our struggles, beauty is there to remind of us the joy, the peace and the potential life offers us in the moment.
In gratitude let us appreciate this gift and enjoy these gifts of beauty of life on planet earth.
Namaste,
Genevieve Gerard
