Being Human

For me being human is savoring all the feelings that arise inside me. It's being aware of my feelings and where they are rooted in my beliefs and how I learned these. It's both joy and sadness, laughter and tears, connection and solitude. Nature teaches me... trees that continue to stand tall under the hard sun and pressing furious rain, flowers that bloom no matter what the weather is, winds that blow strong but pass on... just like my feelings. Nature teaches me about interconnectedness - that while I enjoy my solitude, I know I am always connected to a world of people and Higher Source.
