All plants are our brothers and sisters. They talk to us and if we listen, we can hear them. ~ Arapaho Proverb 

When I'm rushing through the day, getting things done without first being grounded in the purpose of why I am doing them, I've noticed a sort of "noise" in my energy. This noise can be likened to having a radio or a television playing all day in the background. 

When my practice was to always have noise in the background, I eventually stopped hearing the noise as being separate from myself. I didn't even notice it any more. The background noise, whether I intended it to or not, became a part of me. More specifically, it became a part of how I am in the world. 

Realizing that I was a by-product of my inner and outer noise led me to want to understand how I could reprogram the messages I was receiving through it. What would happen if I became conscious of the noise? What would happen if, similar to turning the dial on a radio, I choose to change the frequency of the noise? 

At first, it was a challenge just to turn down the volume, let alone change the station. With practice and the intention of choosing my own programming, I have been able to not only quiet the noise but also tune in to different frequencies. One of those frequencies is based in nature and my visits to my quiet space under the maple tree. 

Each time I visit my spot and connect for a while, I experience peacefulness on a deeper level than before. It is here that I began to understand that the forest whispers. Within its secrets is a Universal message that awakens and speaks to my inner voice, assisting me to remember who I am, to move forward, to blossom and to evolve into who I was born to be. 

The forest whispers the same to each of us, yet our ability to hear as well as our response to these whispers occur in ways that are unique to each of us. Allowing this individual expression of the Universe, as it resonates within us, assists us to grow and evolve into who we were born to be. 

The forest whispers; we are simply required to become quiet enough to hear it. 

What is being whispered to YOU? 

Enjoy a creative day!
