The Natural Connection

     “Everything that has life speaks; everything that speaks tells the story of Spirit. This is the language of our ancestors, the language that teaches us how to live in harmony with our surroundings and with one another. Many of us have lost this language, though everything around us continues to speak. When we listen carefully to the whistle of the wind and the cries of the bush, we hear this language. When we observe closely the blossoms of the earth and the colors of the seasons, we connect to this sacred language that brings us closer to Spirit.”
