WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS
+ This is a post on the style of The Way of Nature as we
continue to explore Heavenliness through the lens of the 12 styles of the Mandala
process created by Edward Bastian. There are 5
more styles to explore and then we will move on to the 9 Attributes of Heaven.
+ I was on a train
on a rainy day. The train was slowing down to pull into a station. For some
reason I became intent on watching the raindrops on the window. Two separate
drops, pushed by the wind, merged into one for a moment and then divided again
- each carrying with it a part of the other. Simply by that momentary touching,
neither was what it had been before. And as each went on to touch other
raindrops, it shared not only itself, but what it had gleaned from the other. I
realized then that we never touch people so lightly that we do not leave a
trace. Our state of being matters to those around us, so we need to become
conscious of what we unintentionally share so we can learn to share with
intention.

+ Nature has a lot to teach us. Paying attention to all aspects and to every
little thing offers enormous benefits for each of us and for others, even all
others. Therefore it is both a privilege
and an obligation to pay attention and to share as much as we can with the rest
of our fellow creatures. Let us renew
our intention to share with intention through our relationship with the amazing
natural world we inhabit.
