The Language of the Universe

Yes, I am finally learning the language of the universe.

How to converse with it, and how it speaks to me.

Here are just some:

Peace

Stillness

Patience

Harmony

Gratitude
Releasing
Forgiveness

Acceptance

Responsibility

Cause and Effect

Where do I start with all these wonderful words?

Perhaps my first lesson, is to simply be still.

Be still and know.

Be still and feel.

Be still and sense.

Be still and listen.

We rush around, ever faster vehicles, images on telly flashing at us.

A wise man once told me: “People never stop and think”.

Terry Pratchett described trees as reeeeeealy slow, watching us run around, build things, destroy them, while they sit in one spot for hundreds of years.

Funny how simply doing nothing is so difficult. Just for a few minutes each day, to take time out, and just breath.

Patience is another gift from nature. To sow a seed, and then have to wait for it’s emergence. To sow an idea, then have to wait for others to grasp it too. There is a Right Time for harvest.

This is encouraging.

Gratitude is Massive.  The first few steps I take when I get out of bed, are to the sound of: “thank-you, thank-you, thank-you”.

To LOVE things like my health, my home, the silence, my meal, even saying Thank-You to the spiders in my bathroom who get rid of the flies for me.

Of course there are many more, it’s personal for each person.

My interpretation of the very first opening paragraph of the Bible,

is:  God was forming, in his mind, an image of the world he was about to create.  He meditated, his spirit brooded over the waters, incubating, visualising.  We are not told how long this preparation period was, possibly millions of our years.

Finally, at the right time, he SPOKE it into being: “Let there be.…”.

I can say “Let There Be” in my life too. I am a creator too.

Now THAT’s inspiring!
