A Different Way of Seeing

What would you do if one day you woke up and you were blind? Or maybe over time you begin to lose your eye sight until it is totally gone. This happens to people and animals for a number of different reasons. I believe animals are much more adaptable to these types of situations them we are. Yes it may be scary for them as it would be for us but they continue on using their other senses to move forward with life. They figure it out one way or another.

I had a dog tell me one time to please explain to his owner that it was still ok for them to go out on hikes, which he missed terribly, that it would be just fine. The dog was depressed because they hadn't been out on the trail since his blindness fully took over. He said he just needed some guidance on the trail but that he was ready to get back out there. I told his owner this and the owner reluctantly agreed. I got a excited call about three weeks later saying the dog was doing great on the trail and actually people along the trail couldn't believe he was blind!

They now "see" things through sensing. It could be through smell, sounds or energetic feelings that they are able to live a fulfilling life. Many things are still possible for them. We limit them when we feel sorry for them. They just need our help or the help of another animal to become "sighted" again. Animals don't dwell on not being able to see, that is a human trait. And they certainly don't want us feeling bad for them.

Help them to continue with a life that is rich with experiences. In assisting them in new experiences our lives become enriched. It is then that we are able to "see" the possibilities for our own lives.

Nature Talks ~ Are You Listening

We do it all the time and don't even realize it. Anyone who has taken a break from the craziness of everyday life and ventured outside just to sit in nature's peacefulness is being rejuvenated by nature's voice. Even if you are in the middle of a big city we seek out the parks, lakes or tranquil areas to make sense of things again. Nature is healing and it does it by just being.

Nature has a life force all it's own. As we all know Mother Nature can be both unyielding in her storms or indescribable in her beauty. When we step back into that place of nature we start to feel like ourselves again, we feel natural.

Animals are and always will be connected to nature much more than we are. They hear and see everything, where we as humans are disconnected. Listen with not only your ears but with your
heart.

When we reconnect we become more centered and clearer in our thoughts. The next time the wind kicks up go out and close your eyes and just listen, or find a stream or body of water and find the life that exists within it.

With all that is going on in the world today now more than ever it is important to stay connected to nature and all that it has to offer.

Do you hear the messages of nature? Everything on the planet has a voice, it is being willing to remain open to everything around us that we will truly experience life as it was supposed to be, natural and we will be at one with nature.

Nature calls to us everyday to stop and enjoy, even if it is only for a moment!
