Get back in touch with nature

During my weekend retreat I was amazed at how simple things had such a profound impact on me: the warmth of the sun on my head...the sound of the ocean...the colour of shells. I realised that my busy life has put me completely out of touch with nature.

It takes self discipline to create space for reflection - I am very disciplined but I still find it hard. However now I can see the benefit of connecting with nature regularly. I am going to make Fridays my time for beach walking...to feel the sun, to hear the ocean.

Eternity is your true time frame

I had a dream this morning. It depicted eternity as a long continuum - never ending of course - and each life we live is attached to that long continuum, like fruit on a tree. It put into perspective for me this lifetime and this moment...

My message is: don't panic! You have time to do everything you plan. Time and space are tools for keeping order on planet Earth: they don't exist in the spirit world. When you grasp the concept of eternity, it brings a sense of peace. Eternity is God's master plan.
