Let nature be your teacher | our reflective space

Let senses be your guide

Your senses are sacred. When you are mindful of them
they bring you deeper experiences than ever before.
When you listen carefully, you can hear the silent
music beneath the noisy distractions of the day; when
you look with attentiveness, you notice the hidden
loveliness of the most ordinary things; when you touch
someone compassionately, you bless them and yourself
with many graces. Let nature be your teacher. Simply by
watching the sea, the sky, each morning’s miracles,
the play of darkness and light, you know you belong to
something bigger. Let your senses teach you that nature
is the first bible. In the turning of the seasons, in the
waxing and waning of each day, nature’s allure catches
for you, reveals to you, and stirs within you the strains
and traces of an Astonishing Love.

May you see what you see through different eyes, hear
what you hear through different ears. May you taste
what you have never tasted before, and go deeper than
your shallow self.
