We are a Part of the Cycle of Life
As I look at all of the trees budding and then flowering, I am reminder of how the cycle of life follows the same pattern. The leaves on the trees are bare in winter, they spring to life after their deep sleep, they spend the spring and summer living their lives; and then they turn beautiful colors, drop their lives and give the impression that they have died off--only to bloom again in spring. There are so many signals in nature that life continue, season after season. Caterpillars spin their cocoons, only to emerge again as butterflies. To me, it points to the continuation of the human soul after this life experience we are in the process of. We are all spiritual beings having a human experience, and those experiences continue on.
Since we are a part of the cycle of life, it behooves us to treat other beings kindly, and to be conscious of the environment around us. As Chief Seattle once said, "We are a part of the Web of life, what we do to one strand of the web affects the entire web." Decide what positive, peaceful part you can play in enhancing life for yourself and everyone you love.

Greetings!
Spring is struggling to present itself. It is much springier here in Kennewick, Washington than it is in Ohio and other parts of north central USA. The squirrels are romping, the flowers are blooming, and we have traded snow for rain. Much more sunshine is being added into the mix.
Isn't life amazing? As it nears the day we celebrate as Easter, I become more and more aware of the idea of transformation and evolution of our personal lives. Each new day we are resurrected into a brand new day. A day that we can do anything we like with, anything that we put our mind into doing. So, then I think about the idea of resurrection, and how it applies to our every day lives. Every new endeavor that we find ourselves in is a resurrection into something new, a new job, new home, new relationship; all of these are great examples of resurrecting into something new.
We are never too old to try something new. The very idea of exploring an idea that has intuitively come to us is an exciting way to continue our connection to life and to those marvelous people that are in it. Spring cleaning is not only for our houses, but for our mind as well.
Get up, get out and be a part of this wonderful thing called life.
Namaste
