Awe
The first act of awe, when man was struck with the beauty or wonder of Nature, was the first spiritual experience.

Trough
There is a trough in waves,
A low spot
Where horizon disappears
And only sky
And water
Are our company.
– Judy Brown, From the poem “Trough” – book The Sea Accepts All Rivers

Nature As Teacher
Nature is the great teacher. Shakyamuni went to the jungle to find its teachings, Moses up the mountain, Jesus to the desert, and Bodhidharma and Muhammad to their caves. We tend to forget this, so it is important to have a practice that reminds us of it again.

In a mind clear as still water, even the waves, breaking, are reflecting its light.

Caminante
Walker, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more.
Walker, there is no road, the road is made by walking.
Walking you make the road, and turning to look behind
you see the path you never again will step upon.
Walker, there is no road, only foam trails on the sea.
– Antonio Machado

All living beings are, so to speak, sparks from the radiation of God’s brilliance. These sparks mere from God like rays of the sun.”

Before Spring
There is a hard truth to be told: before spring becomes beautiful, it is plug ugly, nothing but mud and muck. I have walked in the early spring through fields that will suck your boots off, a world so wet and woeful it makes you yearn for the return of ice. But in that muddy mess, the conditions for rebirth are being created.
– Parker Palmer
