There is always a way

Posted on by philipdodson

I was out walking the dog today in one of our most loved places in nature and came across my favourite tree that I often sit on.

I was struck today as I looked at it that nature can teach us so many things. The tree had clearly at some point suffered a major catastrophe in its life and had fallen down.

But it adapted, survived and is clearly flourishing despite what would seem to be its end by falling down.

We can always find a way to recover and flourish from anything. We can accept what is, be at peace within and look for solutions now.

Floating by

Posted on by philipdodson

Today I just got up and decided to go and sit by the sea, to be in the cold wind, to sit in the winter sun and to just watch the world go by…to be in the moment and at peace.

My soul and body were telling me for a while to take a break, to step away from the ‘package’ aka the mind and all its rambling repetitive daily thought patterns. But like most, I ignored it.

I feel completely re-energised from just being in nature and for feeling the cold elements. From just sitting and observing the moment, it reminded me that passing clouds and passing people are like thoughts they float by and that’s it. Everything passes unless we choose to cling on and attach things to it. Then through choice, we continue to suffer through our attachments.

Let life be, let it float by and go with it.
