“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”
― William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
Spring is here, offering these beautiful blooms and altering the landscape of this atmosphere. This exquisite sunny walk along the radiance of these flowers has created its own inner weather in me, activating some internal reflections about the interrelation of us humans with this vast biosphere. Our relationship with the weather and what change it brings with it, is so intense. We are sensitized and transformed by the seasons and our surrounding climatic atmosphere.
While most of us can shut out our minds and keep enjoying the sudden uncanny rainfall, artificial clouds, forcibly fertilized produce, rising sea levels, we cannot shy away from the reality that all of this imbalances the flow of nature, resulting in floods, storms, extinction of plant, wild and marine life. This era of Anthropocene, posits a weighing question to all of us. How can we act more consciously towards answering the pressing questions of human dominance on this planet? Is it in our capacity to take responsibility for the destructions caused by our biological, chemical and geological practices on earth?
We are created of nature and that is precisely why we are so moved by its magnanimity. Nature is constantly changing and we are part of it. If nature hurts, we are hurt too. The power vested to act consciously and transform exists in both, nature and within us.
Wish you all a vibrant, joyful day!
