Growing

Seasons of nature, seasons of life: we are but reflections of the greater universe.

Our inner landscape is our access to the larger picture but only when we are fully engaged with the outside world. As the universe around us is reflected in the currents and eddies in our minds, so the discipline we generate in ourselves becomes reflected in the world. This is how we can truly touch each other, in love or hurt, and through this paradox we are the authors of each others fate.

Discipline does not come easily, that is its very nature. The rewards are great but the price is nearly as great. Many great people have seen that, in service to the world, we may forget the struggle of our own journey and that in struggling through our lessons we become cut off from the connection we most desire.

The river is flowing, look to the source for knowledge and help clear the path for peace.
