Value of life
What if the value of your life was not measured by your accomplishments and deeds that are seen by man? What if, instead, integrity and meaning was measured by your actions when no one was watching. What if the true measure of man was in the value he created in the universe and creation was the audience that applauded? Native and tribal teachings tell us that man was given the gift of compassion for all life and love for all creation. Was that before overpopulation, terrorism and pollution? Perhaps it was when man was given dominion over the earth and the animals, and some began to exploit and dishonor them, that the decline of man began. Albert Sweitzer said, "Until man extends his circle of love and compassion to include ALL living things, man himself would never find peace." Are we seeing that to be true in today’s society, as we remove ourselves further and further from the natural and the way our Creator intended us to live. You can choose to participate more fully in your life. You can choose by opening your eyes, ears and heart to the earth's voice. All life vibrates with energy. Colors radiate with therapeutic and healing waves through your eyes and are absorbed through your skin. Animals speak as you walk by, trees whisper above you, creeks whisper for your attention, the sunset beacons you to be still in its majestic setting. The universe pours out its treasures. The smallest living cell can teach the biggest lesson. Their very presence in life brings you closer to penetrating the thin veil that so often seems to separate you from your very self and the life that surrounds you every second. When God created the earth, he created it for man’s pleasure and each thing was of beauty and dignity. By honoring yourself, you will come to gain knowledge, wisdom, enlightenment and the power to act. Like dipping a pebble into the pond of your soul, the ripples reach far into the universal pool of life. Your presence here at this time on earth will be enriched beyond belief when you look into your heart and realize that God has been residing there. Take heed in the lessons you have at your fingertips. Your existence on this planet is not idle. Honor yourself by honoring all living things.
