Wind in the Sea Grass
Relationships seem delicate sometimes.The wind of emotion rippling across the bright water of
Our conscious minds.
The anger of a coming tempest or even the joy of a playful breeze
may cause concern.
The sea grass sways and movement occurs. Feelings arise; the calm is disturbed.
Each blade of grass is a being in our lives; some close and some far, all interconnected in a way beyond conception.
The roots of the grass are held resolutely in the mud, intertwined deeply in their silty bed; moving to the rhythms of wind, sun, and burrowing crabs.
Storms occur, sometimes shifting whole islands of the sea bed. Roots may stretch in new directions. Grasses may age and wither. Tiny emerald shoots that we adore, grow to olive green in maturity. The universe continues to unfold.
Even so, the connections endure because the bonds that hold us together are powerful, and resilient.
It would take a much greater force to detach them.
Knowing this, we are free to express that which moves us. Free to accept others without judgment; holding them with compassion, as we hold ourselves.
Reaching deeply into our hidden roots we tenderly feed them all with loving kindness.
Knowing this, we are held. Knowing this we are free.
May this information benefit you, those you love, and all sentient beings, everywhere.
