What Is Life?

what-is-life-ctbIn the BBC series, “The Wonders of Life”,  Professor Brian Cox considers what it is about our world that has made it a home and asks what ingredients are necessary to turn a tiny spec of rock in space into a living, vibrant planet.

The quote above was a profound conclusion: We are all made from the same stuff, and its apparently an inevitable result of the creation of our Universe.

Personally, I see no conflict with scientists’ conclusions and a spiritual existence. We were meant to be here:

You are a child of the universe.
No less than the trees and the stars.
You have a right to be here and whether 
or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe 
is unfolding as it should.

~Max Ehrmann

Here is my Secret

essential2.CTBMy mother read The Little Prince to me when I was small, and it was magical… all about adventure and the incredible relationships we can make if we have an openness to it.

This particular verse takes hold of me because it speaks, I think,  to the internal mysterious world that cannot easily  be put to words – that which “is invisible to the eye”.

When I am in nature my internal mysterious world takes flight. How can one not see the universe there? and with it – evidence of the divine? Of spirit and our infinite connection to everything?

This picture captures it all for me…. my twins (14 at the time), adventuring during a vacation we called The Grand Loop. Ten years later I found the perfect Maxfield Parrish to merge it with, emphasizing the magic I felt then – and still do – when I remember what an incredible gift life is.

And I wanted to share it with you.

Translation: I honor the place within you in which the entire universe dwells. I honor the place within you, which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace. When you are in that place within you and I am in that place within me, we are one.
