The feeling that life loves life to the fullest. <BR/><BR/>The feeling that the surroundings are an eternal womb in which all life's children live, thrive and find eternal nourishment. <BR/><BR/>And nourish each other through their love.<BR/><BR/>Mystics have forever been talking of the 'illusion of separation' that the 'deluded human mind' suffers from, when it concludes that it is just an isolated fragment in a hostile universe...<BR/><BR/>Your blog entry generates the <B>feeling of oneness and love</B> in a beautiful manner.<BR/><BR/>The stick, when nourished by you, with love, blossomed into something that returned the love and nourishment to you.<BR/><BR/>Indeed we are ONE with the surroundings in a beautiful, miraculous manner if life is approached with love. In that case there is no separation.<BR/><BR/>Your writing is amazing, as always..<BR/><BR/>VikramVikram Madanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07743637404053398793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151007.post-67765778912559547092008-07-30T01:01:00.001-04:002008-07-30T01:01:00.001-04:00<a href="http://hapiblogging.blogspot.com/">HapiBlogging</a> to you my <a href="http://goodnessgraciousness.blogspot.com">friend</a>!

We think: we are hungry therefore we eat food to get rid of our hunger. But as you point out: the truth is that something far more remarkable is going on. We are using the food to recreate ourselves.Simonhttp://secretoflife.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151007.post-6905028103695730552008-07-29T16:11:00.000-04:002008-07-29T16:11:00.000-04:00Our life is truly amazing. Yes, the stick became part of you. I am reminded of something that I heard Dr. Wayne Dyer say. In essence he said that there is a finite amount of iron on this planet, which I believe all would agree with. He then goes on to say, there is iron in our blood, where was it before it was in our blood and where does it go when our form ceases to exist. We are truly amazing. Thanks for sharing your ponderings.Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08237538988856751173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151007.post-58289917440382783932008-07-29T09:31:00.000-04:002008-07-29T09:31:00.000-04:00I had a similar experience to this a few years ago in the garden, and I think it's a testament to that subtle listening that is called intuition. You could have planted a thousand sticks and not gotten one piece of fruit, but you were still long enough to HEAR the life stirring in that one. How many bits and pieces of life-energy do we pass by every day that could grow and nourish the world with just a little bit of attention?karenwww.karenlawrencecreativeservices.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151007.post-68332849642854556332008-07-28T14:36:00.000-04:002008-07-28T14:36:00.000-04:00Jennifer,<BR/><BR/>I really hear what you are saying. I am amazed that you took the time to notice someone (something) that appeared discarded,useless, finished and found the patience to pass the energy you received from the sun; from life, and pour it into the helpless - stick. Now it feeds you and becomes you. What a glorious cycle. THANK YOU for this thought! I need to take time with it.Goldenzenhttp://goldenzen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
