Earth
The Way of Stability and Growth
Seems like those two words are a contradiction at first glance doesn't it ? :)
Stable,
yet growing...but to function well, one needs both. A firm base upon
which
to stand,
that
allows for growth outward..like the roots of a tree, or the base of
mountain
Earths
forces are all the aspects of life at once.. including death and
decay
As
this is how Earth grows and changes, the spinning blue ball
is
only the base that all the rest depends on ... that is forever changing
The
Way of Earth is to become as the Earth, stable, secure in the self,
able
to change and grow and if need be for growths sake, allow some parts to
die,
that
other, stronger forms may live.To be as the Earth is to be practical
to
the point of extreme, yet as diverse as the snowflakes,
each
thing having it's own unique style and it's own place
Having
a place....ah that ones dear to me...who have lived my life as a Gypsy.
The
stability of roots, a place to call home..but you see I am Home, always
As
I take that home with me wherever I go, I am my own stability,
and
basis for my own growth
A place, is just a place...the stability comes from within or not at all
The
Way of Earth is both light and dark and all the shades in between,
and
Earth makes no distinction between them. As each has it's purpose and
place.
We
humans tend to fear the shadows.....the
dark....yet
imagine a world
where
there was no dark ? It would be without the mercy of cool shadows
and
shaded places...even in the places of Earth were the light never shines,
there
is life
To
call upon the Earth in circle is to ask for grounding,
for
growth and for change, all at once. We seek the wisdom of the seed,
which
appears as dead, until it knows the touch of earth,
and then it
transforms and brings forth new life
May
your Way be ever growing and changing
