You are a Gift Worth Receiving

You are a gift worth receiving. Accept the gift.”

~ Anonymous

Many years ago I read a book by Erich Schiffmann.
In it he wrote,

"You are as natural and legitimate an expression of nature as a tree or cloud."

I really had to re-read this line many times. I never thought of myself in this way, as part of nature or not since I hugged trees when I was a kid.
I saw humans as being so destructive, trying to control every plant and animal around.

To let go of control of the earth and surroundings we become one with it and are just like the birds, trees and clouds.

And we become gifts in this beautiful world, where we are worth receiving.
In turn we must be humble and grateful enough to give back by practicing ahimsa, or non-harming in our actions, thoughts and speech.

Namaste.
Pamela Nelson
