Singing birds, screeching birds, chirping birds, all music to ears, all speaking the language of harmony. Each distinctive sounding, each different different, yet each secure in its place, each glorying its own song, each singing to its hearts content. Walking down the dyke, the feeling of oneness, the feeling of connecting with the very core of our existence can be a very exhilarating experience.
The lake, the mountains, the lush green trees, the beautiful tall grasses swaying to the wind -all a part of me. We often consider nature to be something outside of us, different than us. Yet come to think of it , we are just a component of it albeit a selfish and most destructive one. If there is God, he really did fail in wiring us in allowing us to believe that it was all created for our joy.
We are part of it, we are part of the mountains, water, the trees,the birds and maybe that is the reason it feels like being home when you are out amongst them. The biggest flaw of human beings is that we are greedy and insecure. We have lost our instinct to survive on our own and our insecurity is translated in our urge to hoard - save for the future, not just ours but the next generation too.
Think about it - if like the birds and the other elements of nature , we had faith, if we really believed that our creator would be our sustainer too, why would we be concerned about our future? Just because we consider ourselves separate from all the other elements on the planet, we don't believe that the laws of nature apply to us.
The day we consider the planet is not ours to own, but like the other creatures, we are a part of it, that the laws of nature applies to us just like it does to other animals and plants - the change, the growth and the ultimate decay, we are at peace with ourselves.
