Seasons – Blog No. 4

seasons-wallpapers-48397-hd-wallpapers-backgroundWinter.  Spring.  Summer.  Autumn.  Each has its value.  Spring is the season I am most interested in.  I would go as far as to say it is my favourite season.  It is all about growth.  Regeneration.  A surge of Natural energy unlike at any other time of the year.  That growth energy is essential for the well-being of the planet.  For those who live in concrete jungles, it is not enough to have a pot plant on your coffee table that you might look at twice a day.  You need more of Nature than that.  The chain reaction that takes place when a human experiences a surge of happiness out in Nature is beneficial to humankind, to the collective soul.  Those vibes are pure and they resonate an innocence.  There is no sweeter ecstasy than being swept away by Nature’s majesty.  If you do not feel deeply touched by natural beauty then perhaps you should donate your eyes to someone who cannot see, but would like to.

There are autumnal personalities.  Summer personalities.  Take time to learn which type of person you are being, when.  You will show yourself in stages – each age of you – to be of a season.  Your behaviours and preferences at certain times in your life will demonstrate to you – and others – your type.  When you understand yourself as a reflection of Nature you become more open to – and tolerant of – your changeability, and that of others.  Your personality can go through phases, as can your feelings.  You might be completely in love with a person on Tuesday and on Wednesday you watch them across the room and wonder who they truly are.  These swings in feelings, behaviours, are not to be side-lined, evaded.  They can be extreme on occasion, but even so they are to be looked at and they are to be accepted as part of your make-up.  If you refuse to accept who you honestly are – how can you possibly expect anybody else to want to bother?  If you spend your days hiding your true self from sight, avoiding your repressions, suppressions and insecurities, you are wasting everyone’s time.  Be who you are, when you are.  No-one wants to spend time getting to know a liar.

Seasonal flow is how to go about your life.  Let your days come to you and then let them go.  Take them at face-value.  Each one has something to teach you.  Know that sometimes you will feel like hibernating.  At other times you will feel like you have the fire of midsummer sun in your heart.  It depends.  That seasons are always in flux should give you a clue as to the nature of the run of your race.  Don’t push or shove yourself around.  Let the seasons guide you.  Each one has raw beauty.  Let the beauty seduce you.

Temperament – Blog No. 74

553595-24219-18What is your temperament?  Do you like who it is that you are?  If you should like yourself some of the time, that is a start.  If you like who you are a great deal – yours is the right space.  You cannot like yourself when you behave badly, try as you might.  Your knowing, your moral fortitude will not allow you to.  If you have no moral compass, it must be said that no one can help you.  A moral compass (or the lack of one) is inherent.  Remember, too, that it is your choice how you behave – not another’s.  Another’s bad behaviour towards you is not permission for you to act like an arsehole.  Try not to let yourself drop your standards – or your guard – in the name of petty retaliation.  Choose your reactions; ensure that they suit the occasion.

You can lie to your heart’s content, you can make excuses for yourself and your short-comings, you can find reasons to justify your bad behaviour.  All of this is possible – and very do-able.  We all do it and we are all good at it.  Have you heard how adept you are at justifying your actions so that you can feel less responsible for bad behaviour?  It is natural to try and allocate blame somewhere – or delegate it – the need is almost instinctive.  It takes a dedicated human being to treat blame as your own bedfellow.  How often do you sit with yourself and accept responsibility for your strained relations with others, your rudeness, your intolerance?  How often will you apologise for your misdemeanours?  And I am talking about apologising to yourself, as well as to others.

Your temperament is not only your nature.  It is not just your personality.  It is your whole, your calling card in this world.  It is the reason people will find you attractive, or not.  It is why you will be successful, or not.  If you have a shit temperament, do something about it.  Your reactions are within your power.  Each of them.  If you do not like how you behave in certain situations – either avoid putting yourself in those situations or transform the way you feel about what is happening to you.  You change your viewpoint – particularly when it comes to the how and why of your behaviour(s) – and you change the way you are perceived in this world.  That can make all the difference.

Nature – Blog No. 43

naturePlease take time to appreciate your world.  Pick flowers.  Stand in the rain, sniffing the wet.  Notice creatures, don’t kill them.  Don’t step on a caterpillar because you are too lazy to adjust your stride.  Be aware of your big feet.  You are accountable for each thing you kill on this planet.  More to the point – have some respect for Nature.  She is what gave you life, gives you life.

If you are going to hunt something, you must eat it.  Hunting is acceptable when it is for survival.  Culling.  I find culling slightly objectionable.  Man decides that the animals are too many for their environment and so he kills them off to tidy up that anomaly.  What if the gods suddenly decided that us humans were too many for our environment and tidied up our numbers by shooting millions of us?  I think we’d object.  Is that what genocide is?  Disease?  Murder?  I do not see this subject as God’s argument.  I see that it is Nature restoring equilibrium.  You can count on some major ‘culling’ being done on a daily basis in this world.  A lot of people die every day.  This is how it is, we cannot be sentimental about dropping numbers.  We need to be realistic, accept Nature’s give and take.  The way a lot of people die is not great.  That is a problem.  Can you imagine the luxury of dying in your sleep with a full stomach when you are facing an AK 47?  Starving?  Being bombed?  I think death needs to be more humane in a lot of places.  Africa is not a good place for death.  The way you can die in Africa is wild, cruel, vicious.  She is not a continent for tip-toing around the taking of a life.  Perhaps the world needs to look at death differently.  A lot of people are living a lot longer than they did before, so when you die in the first world of a stress disease (there are many) or old age or of natural causes then there is really no reason to complain.  Your death is part of your life.  It is a continuation.  You are in charge of the amount of stress you let into your life, so if you contract a stress disease you need to accept that your path brings you what it brings you.  You should not cry when death comes in a good way, you can consider yourself, your family, blessed.  I have said it before – we can all aspire to dying in our sleep.  It is something to think about if you want to start visualising your future.  When you concentrate your energies on what you want to happen in your life you will find that often, it does.

We are Nature.  We have a human nature.  Our natures are not the same.  I do believe we are born with either a good nature or an evil nature.  Fortunately there are a lot more people with good natures than there are evil.  Nature is inherently good, though she has a temper.  We have her traits.  We are human in that we can speak.  More than anything else, this makes us human.  The words we use carry energy.  It is important to think before you speak when such is possible.  Words out, are words down.  You must realise how powerful what you say out loud is.  Your ears are tuned naturally to hear your voice, your tone.  When you fight or when you insult somebody, understand that the negative sentiment is ricocheting straight back at you.  You bitch at someone, you are being that bitch to yourself.  It is interesting to hear from yourself what you will say of others, to others.  Be careful what you choose to show the world with your speech, your vocal expression tells the truth about the state of your interior.  If you are being a shitty person because your insides are a mess – stop it.  The world does not need people like you any longer.
