A friend recently posted a video of her new cottage on a lake. The trees, the water, the sky, all the foliage, combined to create an experience that was truly beautiful.
I then thought back to all the many beautiful images I've seen from nature. Some I had the great blessing of getting to experience in person. Others just in images others had brought back from their experiences. But even just in 2-D, nature is genuinely delightful. Awe inspiring even.
It is as if the entire planet was designed perfectly to delight our senses: our vision, touch, smell, sound, and certainly taste. And those of us who have developed further senses, we also get to experience the delight of our consciousness communing with that of the natural world.
I started to tell my friend this in response to her video, but then it hit me that I had it wrong.
Elephants and You
I recalled an article I read recently about how scientists had found a way to measure the bio-chemical response of elephants when seeing humans. They discovered that their reaction basically translated into the fact that they react to us as we do to puppies. They think we're cute!
It hit me then that the deeper truth is that all of life is perfectly designed for the delight of all of life.
We are the Divine, differentiating itself in physical form so that it can adore itself through all these different lenses.
When you allow yourself to be Love loving Itself, you are being yourself in the truest sense.
