The traps of daily life - the routine, the monotonous, the obligations and responsibilities. It’s like a black-hole that, day in and day out, consumes most of your time and energy. Work, family and all the other attachments keep us away from achieving an elevated state of awareness.
In a blink of an eye the day is gone, then the week and soon a month. For someone on a spiritual path, I can’t help but ponder, “What valuable lessons have I learned? What soul work have I done? Did I make time for my own self work? Did I do anything to feed my soul?”
When I find myself engulfed in this situation, my way out is to step back and go to my special spot, a sacred space. We all have that one spot where you feel your entire being nourished and nurtured.
Finally, after a very long time, over 8 months, we went to our special spot in the forest where the rivulets flow, and the little fish jump about with every stroke, a dragonfly sat on Cahya’s cheek as she slept, and the wild flowers danced in the breeze.

No one around apart from us, and the only other passer-by are the receding monsoon clouds bidding us goodbye as the sun played peekaboo with them.
We could take that much-needed pause, that break from the monotony of life, and soak in the richness of Mother Nature. We are so grateful to have found that spot - a valuable lesson for us to learn that nature is always so welcoming, no matter who you are, or in what state of mind you are, it just hugs you and soothes you with its touch.
There are no judgments or second thoughts, it is always there for you. The few hours we spend by the river was joyous even for our 12-year-old dog, Cosmos, who swam across the river multiple times - it was the first time he had ever done this.
No matter the situation you are in, the chaos that surrounds you, find your special spot and allow it to replenish your energy and find order in all the chaos that surrounds you!

“The aspect of nature is devout. Like the figure of Jesus, she stands with bended head, and hands folded upon the breast. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.” |
