See the Earth in a state of absolute freedom

…let us travel outward into the cosmos, until we are looking down at the Earth. Free your awareness from the time and space continuum and see the Earth in a state of absolute freedom. See the blue green sphere, magically suspended in inky, all-encompassing blackness, soft and bright in her soothing luminosity.

Do you see the assorted and indescribable colors weaving in and out of this earthly tapestry? Can you see the different colored petals of flowers as they sway in the wind, weaving and twirling, mixing with the wild grasses to go forth as a living breeze, only to fall onto the dark soil as an invisible mist of green life? Do you see the dynamic beauty of animals as they prowl, swallowed by the protective green gauze of the forests or the harsh yellow tint of the desert? Do you see any differences in human beings in terms of their skin color, body types, or any other criteria that you can think of?

Of course you do, for life is an expression of infinite creativity. No living thing is identical to any other living thing, even among the same species. And do you realize that this is a blessing, the greatest ever, and that ‘sameness’ is unnatural and an affront to life? Life is not an imitation, but an unending process of original creation. Can you now feel an overwhelming burst of inspiration and gratitude for this infinite variety? For the love of the Creator, as life is bursting in full bloom in its blinding and brash beauty?
