The Way is Good
The Tao of Nature draws all of life into life's pursuit of a better way. All of experience presents an opportunity for further growth, and what we may call crisis is simply the distance we travel from the way.
Life's only constant is CHANGE.
Without beginning or end, life flows endlessly, as seeds become trees, which become seeds again. Great rivers meet the sea where the water is gathered into clouds, moving across the landscape to return to its source. At all levels of life, we observe how something that appears bad is actually good and necessary for renewal.
A forest fire burns away old growth to prepare for the new; the same pollution that causes global warming and ocean temperatures to rise is washed away in the very typhoons and hurricanes that are generated.
Difficulty is never an obstacle; it is that thing that lifts you up to see your way forward. "Failure and success merely test the depth and nature of your sincerity." If it is real, it will endure.
The Master said: “Propitious means that you attract the things you need." During autumn, the earth is made barren, although what is removed paves the way for a springtime to come. Returning the seeds of rebirth to the earth, winter incubates and nurtures a future landscape. In the cyclical rhythm of life, all things move purposefully and at times, all things turn back. Even when we are not moving forward, we continue in our growth.
The wisdom of nature will always reveal how Nothing Bad Happens in Life.
