A New Life Begins: A Contemplation

What does it mean to explore new life beginning? How can nature reveal to us the secrets to a happy fulfilled life.

Nature’s Example: The Seedling

A seed is dropped into the dark, dense soil.

The seed must wither and die to allow the sprout to push through the darkness into the light of day.

And thus…

A new life emerges.

Nature’s Example: The Nesting Birds

A nest of young chicks approach maturity and are pushed out of the surety of their home.

An event that promotes fear and a sense of mortal danger. Yet amidst this panic the latent abilities of the birds are unveiled and they take to flight.

For these heavenly creatures…

A new life unfurls.

Nature’s Example: The Butterfly

A metamorphic process is underway as the lowly caterpillar is to become a radiant butterfly.

In this process the caterpillar doesn’t become a more advanced caterpillar, no, it’s form and substance is utterly disintegrated inside a cocoon that signals a dying of the old form.

Yet from this scene of seeming destruction nature creates a serene butterfly and thus the caterpillars life is irrevocably changed to greater awareness of what’s possible.

And thus we see again….

A new life has formed.

A Search for the Deeper Meaning

These vignettes demonstrate the boundless wonders of nature seen through the seed, the birds and the caterpillar’s unfoldment into higher forms of existence.

What lessons can this bestow on the soul of a human seeking enlightenment?

The appearances can all point to bleakness where failure seems a certainty. Yet as time elapses a great renewal and rebirth is being fashioned.

This all represents a pointing to the proverbial phoenix from the flames. In that from a process of dissolvement great renewal takes place.

These tales tell us that as sure as dawn breaks at the darkest moment in the night sky, new life will emerge when great changes unfold.

Summary

The truths explored here stand as a great antidote to fear and uncertainty in life.

Peace will surely find a place in your soul by you absorbing these truths revealed.

In being conscious of these patterns in life we allow ourselves to become the witnesses to our own destiny. By this we can then allow life to be lived attentively rather than conquered.

A New life begins…..
