Today - Natures Beauty

~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is the most beautiful day of my life, the past, the present. It is winter the ground is cold, frozen, soft white snow abounds the world of the forest, of the mountains. The trees are white with the softness of new fallen snow, the ground, the boulders, the rocks, the mountain grass, the bushes are white. The beauty of winter gives them their coat as a blanket. I look up at the flowing waters coming down from a mountain top over hundreds of waterfalls. It is clear, it is cold but there is warmth in its beauty as it furls white down its bed, not calm, not violent but beautiful. the whiteness of its foam as it splashes downward across the rocks, the boulders into the eddies flowing out its downward rush to meet the rivers that flow into the ocean to go back into the air as vapor, as a Spirit then returned to us as gentle flakes of winter snow. As soft rain in the spring to form such beauty from the top of the highest mountain to the level of the sea. No breeze, no wind this day, it is quiet all but the sound of the rippling waters. It is so peaceful here in the mountains, in the forest with the creatures of the ground, the birds of the air, the fish of the waters. The blue of the sky on this day is concealed by a soft blanket of clouds. The softness, the gentleness, the peacefulness of the forest as nature is of the greatest beauty that any living thing could have and to appreciate.

Man does not realize when he only comes to the mountains and the forest for a short stay running away temporarily from the savage world of his civilization. He does not realize that Grandfather, the Great Spirit, Mother Earth, nature has allowed him to spend a few moments or days in the heavens. Yes, being here in the forest and in the mountains with no intruders, no violators, no savageness, no cannibalism is yet to be had of this world as a part of the heavens.

The bark of the tree each individual mark, each tree itself stands alone with its own identify. Each rock is like each snowflake that falls to Earth is like no other, each waterfall different. Is this not as close to the perfection of the Heavenly Village where our ancestors today dwell. Somehow it seems as a dream as I look around. Every direction of my vision inhales beauty, its smell is fresh. The world of the forest, the mountains, a winter wonderland of beauty.

The animal creatures walk quietly, softly, slowly as there is nothing here to harm them. Their children wander about, the birds of the air soar towards the heavens, come to Earth, light in a tree or on the ground or near the waters to take of nourishment. The fish gather in small pools, nourishment flowing down each part of the source of the waters. They also take of the nourishment, Mother Earth and nature provide. Be kind and love Mother Nature, Mother Earth she gives us life. She not only bears us from her womb, gives us life into our earthly abode, our physical body. Grandfather give us our thinking mind, our heart, our Soul, our Spirit that they alone provide us with nourishment.

It is amazing but yet not surprising how soft, how gentle and how peaceful the environment can be when you show your love in return, show your appreciation in return by not violating the things that we are given. Give thanks, count your blessings as the number of snowflakes that fall to Earth from the Heavens. Count your blessings by the number of grains of sand in the desert, blades of grass on the prairie, the air that we breathe, each step here on Earth with such surroundings as this is a step in the Heavenly Village.

Tomorrow will come, the Heavenly Council permitting and it will be as today, the most wonderful day of my life. As today, tomorrow may be different with maybe no falling snow, maybe some breeze, maybe some wind, maybe more water, maybe less water, maybe sunshine, maybe not, maybe cold, maybe warmth. What is beautiful is the ability to wake up and enjoy one more day in this beautiful world. To look and see, if you have that ability, to touch, to feel, to listen and hear, to smell the freshness, to taste nature. If you have any or all of these abilities use them to their full power. If you have lost one, enhance the strength and improve that ability of the others, if you have none at least Grandfather, the Great Spirit, the Medicine Men, the Holy Men, the Great Warriors residing in the Heavenly Lodge and sitting in Heavenly Council have granted you another day with your true and everlasting love, the love of your life, nature, Mother Earth.

Say thank you Grandfather, thank you Mother Earth for this wonderful day, the most beautiful day of my life..
