Recently I traveled to Scotland and Sweden and had the opportunity to explore its people and nature, particularly the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Iona and a couple of western Islands in Sweden. Many hours were spent hiking the crags, moors, glens, through little villages, islands and mountains. Nature, if we are mindful to notice and reflect on what we see and feel, can teach us a plethora of lessons.
For example, Scotland has very old trees. One yew tree was 5000 years old, yes I do not have a typo....5000 years. Now that tree, at some point in it's life, lost a major portion of it's trunk center, destroyed most likely by fire. However, this regal yew tree survived with only the outside of it's trunk supporting the beautiful healthy tree branches.
What have you survived, maybe even flourish from, as a result of a tragic experience?
Another tree displayed it's complex tangle of roots, many fully above ground for all to see, yet multiple trunks reached toward the sky. The lesson for me: even though we may encounter a complex tangled mess of challenges in life, we have an innate ability to rise out of the mess to grow toward our dreams and feed our spirituality.
What are you doing to rise above the tangled complexities, burdens, conflicts in your life to strengthen and grow toward your dreams and feed your spirituality?
