It’s a beautiful morning and I’ve seen so many pictures of wildflowers on Facebook lately. They help me remember there are life and death cycles all around us and the idea of sustained uncontrolled growth is a myth. These life death cycles are the natural order and our safety actually lies in our embracing these cycles rather than resisting. Lucretius, the Roman poet and philosopher, said conquer your fears, accept the fact that you and all things you encounter are transitory and embrace the beauty and pleasure of the world. There really is no escape from the constant making and unmaking and remaking of forms. I know this and yet I always forget. I am so much happier when I can sit back and enjoy the beauty and embrace the transitory.
It's Eco-Logical
