Nature and Love.... Teachers...

We have a tendency to get caught up in our personal worlds.   Sometimes we simply have not been taught to see what nature teaches us and sometimes we are too busy keeping the family together, making ends meet, or simpley surviving in this interesting world we live in.  
Nature has a lot to teach us including keeping us in touch with that which is the the most basic in our lives.  How do you feel when you see a great awe inspiring view in nature?  How do you feel when you see a baby deer or a baby duck?  Have you noticed those feelings are very similar to the feelings we get when we see a baby child smile at us, your loved one tells you they love you.  These feelings that we get from observing, being in touch with nature, and from love and including even pets, are the basic feelings of the Divine.  It is when we feel these feelings that we can most easily touch the Divine.  A mystic is defined as one who seeks a direct experience of the Divine.  If you pay attention to the the feelings you get from nature and the feelings you get from experiencing love in it’s many forms you begin to touch the Divine.
