Connecting with spirit is the most beautiful thing. Have you ever heard the wind sing, heard a frog cry, or a rat scream or even a tree laugh? There is consciousness in all things, every particle, every atom, in this universe, has a voice of its own. All things are as alive as we are. Perhaps, not quite the same way, but they are conscious, and they are alive. Feel, with your heart, and let your imagination run wild. The world expands when you allow your perception to go beyond the mundane reality. See, beyond the static. And see, into the unknown, into that vast ocean of spirit, that lies parallel to our everyday reality but is elusive to our limiting perceptions if we are not willing to trust, to trust that, which can only be felt. Smell the wind, and say hello. Walk to a bird and tell her how you feel. Touch the tree next door, and tell him he is missed, that he is beautiful, just like you. The universe awaits us to become aware of that, that which truly is.
Last week, I met a frog on the way to the supermarket. He told me he was angry because of the pollution around the vicinity. Well, I wouldn’t be surprised by that. Ha! On my way out of the supermarket, Mr. Frog leaped ten steps to meet me eye-to-eye, passing me a message that is leading me to an exciting chapter of my life. The Universe always bears gifts, so open your arms to receive. For now, I will keep the message a secret. Until then. I must go.
