For all the work we do indoors, there is nothing more powerful then to be within each element.
Sit at the lake and breath the still and calm as the magical sounds of nature sooth the soul.
Sit on the back porch and let the power of the thunderstorm roll through you, feel the vibrations rattling every time that rumble and crack booms across the sky.
Dip your toes in the stream and feel the power that moving water has to shape our planet, the movement generating not just energy of its own right, but the wearing of the land how that small little trickle can become a river and then a ravine.
Sit at the fire and stare into the flames appreciating the powerful destructive and life giving amazing that is fire. Wonder at the miraculous circle of energies and how they unite and transform to allow existence.
Climb the mountain and feel how much it has endured, its sheer resilience in existing amongst a landscape that would continually wear it down, feel the wonder when you reach the top and view the magic of our country from above. The mountain giving power to other elements as well as taking power away - water running so much faster down the mountain yet not able to run up the mountain, fire burning brightly up the mountain yet fizzling and becoming nothing down the mountain.
Stand at the top of the mountain as the wind pulls at your body and feel its energy flowing, close your eyes and appreciate the power of wind when it is not constrained, the energies to move and shape our world is as destructive and life giving as water and fire.
Earth the home of all the above energies, the place that gives them a home to exist. The wonderful balance that keeps all earthly energies flowing, walk through the bush and feel the energies in all that exists, in the grand old tree that has watched the world go by for 300 years, in the energetic bee that supports such a long existence through its own very quick and busy 3 week life. Fill yourself with magic, energy having found a way to intertwine and interchange so perfectly and miraculously existence can be.
Close your eyes and let the white power of heaven radiate over and through you, pure energy, energy that is all and everything as well as nothing, energy that is all consuming and all giving in equal measure. Be humbled in the miracle that is existence, be empowered by the greatness that is creation. Appreciate the now for the amazing moment in eternity that it is.
Lake Merran is where I sat yesterday - a place that is all of 40 minutes from where I live … we constantly seek yet oftentimes fail to see what is in front of us and what we already have ❤️
