Every now and then I just stand under this oak tree where I work and look around, and listen to the [[sounds]] of [[nature]], and feel the [[earth]] beneath my feet. So last week I was doing this and started [[thinking]] about the earth spinning around, and I’m spinning with it--though I can’t actually feel that. And it’s billions of years old, and the [[universe]] is even older; and the [[intelligence]] or [[wisdom]] that created all this also created me; and at that [[moment]] I had access to that wisdom that has been here all that time. So why not access that?---what all the great [[teachers]] have been pointing at? Why not let this divine [[intelligence]] be the ruler of my life? It seems like [[history]] keeps repeating itself, so isn’t it time to stop that treadmill and let the intelligence that created all this take root and hold? So anyway… I didn’t mean to express so much tonight, but I guess I did, you know, trying to put things in [[perspective]]. | Every now and then I just stand under this oak tree where I work and look around, and listen to the [[sounds]] of [[nature]], and feel the [[earth]] beneath my feet.
