All of us love nature. It’s so easy to see its beauty and the wonder of its creation. We see it in the trees, my favorite are the Aspens. We see it in the wild creatures when a bird lands on our windowsill or a deer leaps across the road. It’s unmistakable when we embrace our family pet or lie in the grass and watch the white billowy clouds float across a deep blue sky.

There is no doubt that the entire Universe has been created by Love, and with love. And yet… what about us? Can we not see that we too, have been created by and with, and as an expression of love? Can we not see ourselves as an essence of Creation? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, “No. Most of us can’t or won’t see that.” We are stuck in the idea that we are separate from the beauty and love of Creation.

Here’s where I say, “Wake up.” You too are the expressed beauty of Creation. You are uniquely beautiful as is each individual flake of snow or each flower that springs up from the earth. Step out of yourself and take a look. One of a kind. Gifted to be who you are. Stop seeing yourself as something separate from all other creations of love. Yes, you are unique, but stop judging. Stop seeing yourself as something less than perfect. If that bird sitting on your windowsill is a perfect creation, then so are you. We cannot be separate from that which created us. So who are you to tell the Creator that it did a less than perfect job?
