The Blueprint in Nature

Nature has limitations. Nature is resilient. Nature is intelligent. Nature makes it obvious to us all that God exists by showing us such splendor that our jaws drop open on a regular basis if we are paying attention.

I have noticed that our culture can be run and driven very much by the more more more concept. My small community needs more tourism. We need more faster and better touch screens. We need to build higher more techno savvy high rises. It hasn’t gone away. If I had one wish it would be for our technology to be used for good. Any tool can be used for good or evil and we have seen this with Isis and social media. We have seen this with the networking for the Bernie campaign. The truth is that we are fighting human nature. You may argue that we are natural, that our behaviors are natural. If you know History or believe in the Bible, you know, not all of what we do is good.

There is a blueprint, though, in our very cells. Who knows where corruption comes from, but I can guess that it is from us going numb, from getting lost in our rage, from not slowing down and healing and integrating with this gentle blueprint. The truth is that most of us do not need more. If we need more actually, we are not a part of the problem, we are a part of the solution. Those who push for more that don’t need it are the ones that need to turn around and help those who actually do. This is what makes those who are in need the solution and not the problem. We are stretched thin, and our obsession with our devises and screens is only prolonging us existing on this worn out plane. Perhaps separating ourselves a little more from the television and IPhone would be good. Perhaps them hippies were right. But we do not want to move backward, we want to move forward. How do we move forward without creating the monster of more more more? Well, hopefully we can use our technology for the purpose of actually making the world a better place. Slow down the momentum of your moreness. Look around you, look below you. Who and what can you help? Healing, the healing that we need to do, and this blueprint in nature that we need to get in touch with, comes from helping others, be it the bees, the trees or the mentally ill, and slowing down. What are you waiting for?
