When I look around me, I am amazed at how much beauty I see around me. I sit quietly and stare into the outer space. I count how many stars there are in the sky and I think to myself, how beautiful the stars are. One is bigger than the other. It is an interesting universe we are living in. How many of you count how many stars we have in our sky? Do you question which of them could have intelligent life? I do! It is the most beautiful thing to think about.
Our universe has an energy flowing through it, at all times. The energy never stops moving and actually moves through our bodies as well. Can you picture that? Energy flowing through each of you on this planet. That means at any given moment, energy is inside you continuously flowing from the top of your head, to the bottom of your toes. That is truly a remarkable thought. Well, at least to me! I am not sure how many of you question; the possibility of being able to use energy that flows through us; in a way that could possibly benefit us? I think about it all the time. It is one of many beauties in this world. Being able imagine and question our beautiful planet and ourselves is truly amazing.
Energy is like a tool. Construction workers need needles, hammers, and other source of necessary components to get their job done. Doctors need their own tools as well. What if we could take energy and use it in a way that would help understand why we are here? Do you think it could be used to help us live in harmony, happiness, and love? I know many people who throw out words like love around, loosely. Everyone has the capability to love and share that love with others. I suppose not many people know what true love, truly means.
It is difficult to understand why we are here on this planet. However, my belief is, enjoy what you have in front of you. I am not talking about the wars, poverty, racism, betrayal, violence, and other things you see around you. I am speaking about natural beauty around us. How many people stop to relax their mind for a bit and reconnect with Mother Nature? I know most of us do not have much time. Nevertheless, do you not think it is mostly excuses you are making for yourself? We all have time, it just depends how we use that time!
Focus your mind on something that is going to make you happy. We are here to enjoy the fruits of our hard working ancestors; as well as ourselves.

Hi Leon, I like the part about energy flowing and I like the part about finding something that feels good to focus on.
Anne Partain - Why thank you! Hope you are doing well and all that jazz:)

Molly - Thank you so much!:)
Thanks for your comment on my page, and thanks for turning me on to your writing. You seem to me to be a tuned in fellow. You're welcome to read all the work I have up if I may read yours. I've got a shit ton of material, but I have had no luck with publishers and agents. I do run a little magazine though, Secondhand Rockingchair. It's not much, but you'd fit into it nicely. I'd love to run a piece of yours. Perhaps we'll begin a correspondence?
Lust With Wings - Thank You so much! Most definitely.
Yep, it's good to take the time to observe the Universe/nature around us. It makes us appreciate out lives more.
Aggie - It sure does! I would totally agree...
beautiful post. i think too many people are caught in the nitty gritty of life and CHOOSE to not see the beauty around them. i look for the beauty, i need to see beauty, to feel at peace, to feel happiness. after all, even a swallow, sitting on a grey brick wall, has a beauty of its own...
Shadow - Yea, so true! Thank you for sharing your...
Once again, great stuff Leon! I share the same wondrous love affair with nature and the present moment.
C. Om - Thank you once again:)
I love sitting in my garden on summer evenings and watch all those gorgeous constellations. It's beautiful and it is most enjoyable to see a shooting star.
The wonders of nature will always be with us, I'm convinced of that.
Hi Leon,
Thanks for visiting my blog - I like yours, too.
I wish you a sunny day,

You views are insightful. One perspective is that nothing is difficult to understand as an energy being grasps what it means to stop resisting. People resist the truth due to unacknowledged fear and selective ignorance. To recognize symptoms and follwo the thread leads you deeper inside yourself the the answers you crave.
You was wondering and you have one explain in the fancy blog and then you have this one. Thank you

Sometimes it is difficult to stop. Everyday this world throws something at me that will waste my time or distract me from what i really want. Sometimes i get confused about what i want in life because there are so many things that drive me away from myself. I wonder what to do in this small prison, i wonder about my life and how i got here, i wonder about what i can do to get what i want and make others happy.
Life has so much for us. Its a shame that most waste it by trying to be better than others or impress others. We could have anything we want if we work together as friends but thatll probably never happen with the way things are. The energy, love, is always being disrupted by corrupt individuals that value power and control. If i could just relax on a beach, climb a tree, go fishing, lie on an open field of wheat, sleep with my loved one, or just be me everyday then i would be happy. This world has so much yet it is wasted by ourselves. "I dont have time" then make time, "im bored" then do something. Geez, people can be so robotic sometimes with all their days being the same and thats ok with them. I cant live like that, i need to have fun, i need to enjoy the day and experience life. One day...
It is cripplingly sad how battered and abused some people become with their experience of life so they lose that sense of magic....that ecstatic feeling that can be had when heart and everything is open for nature
Kids usually have this. They will skip on a lovely day---I saw two pre-teen girls skipping the other day, and I felt I was skipping looking at them skipping. And as I watched I thought how totally connected we are with the animals. because they get all excited, especailly when Spring arrives, and all the buds are sprouting
For a dog it must be simply incredible, because you see their smelling capacity with their coldwet black noses is vastly more sensual than ours! So all the scents must be exhilerating for them, and they will run, jump, and do all kinds of moves flat on their back, wiggling about, caught up in the thrill of it all, usually in the mud, or fox poo haha
I am loving your posts Leon :)
I enjoy writing and walking both bring me in touch with the natural world around me.
I enjoyed reading your blog.
Good luck with your writing
Thank you all for commenting and reading. I always enjoy hearing all of your thoughts and feelings. Glad that you all read and comment.
Hi Leon,
You nailed it. We can't always change the bad things in the world, but by being in tune with natural beauty, we feed our spirit, thus recharging outselves.
Athlyn - Thank you!;)
When you write the line
It is difficult to understand why we are here on this planet.
We are here to be ourselves no matter what larger reason might or might not exist.
So why worry about any larger reason and enjoy the personal reason of being alive :) and then being anne, leon, casey, bob , susan, linda etc
I find all this interesting since so many people are unhappy, unhappy at being themselves since they have been taught to be someone else by media and culture. Once you alienate yourself, you alienate and remove the reason for life itself. Leaving many people searching Indeed
Peace
Casey Kochmer - Wonderful comment! Thank you.
