BE LIKE NATURE - GENEROUS AND EXPANSIVE

7/28/2019

 
Here's a powerful insight about nature, generosity and expansive growth from Norman Fischer, founder of the Everyday Zen Foundation and author of The World Could Be Otherwise: Imagination and the Bodhisattva Path.

"The grasses on the hillside are ready to burst out green as soon as a little rain falls and a little sunlight peeps through. Weeds and vines tangle all over the place. Life stopped in one place pops up somewhere else. Nature is prolific. Even the falling apart of things is generous: big trees topple willingly in heavy winds; they provide food for insects, bacteria, fungi, and other trees and plants. It’s sad in our time to see so many species disappearing. More than sad. But species have always disappeared, and new species have always arisen. When we say we are destroying or protecting the earth, we are expressing our dismay and our love, but we are also being a bit arrogant: the earth is fine, and life on earth will continue in some form no matter what we do, because life is generous and fecund and it cannot be stopped. As long as the sun shines, life in some form will continue."
