“We need the tonic of wildness… At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

The last few hundred years have seen a major shift in man’s relationship with nature. The trend has been a move away from the wild, organic, natural world towards artificial, digital, synthetic, controlled urban environments. With the advent of science during the Age of Enlightenment, man began to grasp that nature operated according to laws that through scientific investigation could be understood, and ultimately controlled and used for the benefit of humanity. The more we were able to explain, the less we perceived nature as a magical, awe-inspiring force that we were an inextricable part of. Humanity began to see itself as superior to nature, and thus a slow disconnection was set in motion — a disconnection that we are gradually beginning to understand has done us a lot more harm than good.

God said:

My dear children, sometimes you feel that you have had a misdeal in life. What happens when you feel neglected by life, this amazing thing called life, you look for something to blame. If life is not at your feet today, you may take this to mean that you are at fault. This is ego, dear friends. Ego preens you to be guilty. Then ego can get a good grip on you.

It so happens that you are not the centerpiece of every single day’s life as it appears in the world. Did you have the idea that you were supposed to be the headline story? Is the day supposed to beat the drums for you and blow whistles, and today is only for you?

Remember that life in the world is about contrast. Life welcomes you every day. Only every day life does not consistently announce you as King. No one is sitting down to plan out every day. What appears to you as an uphill climb is simply part of life. From the angle you view everyday life, life is not always going to appear to you as bouquet of beautiful roses. On such days, you object. “Foul,” you cry.

Better to pat life on the head and murmur:

Satoshi Tomizu is a Japanese glass artist that uses his talents to create astonishing cosmic scenes encased in orbs of glass no larger a human eye. Known as Space Glass, each orb is crafted in breathtaking detail as gold flakes, air bubbles, and a number of other inclusions solidify in the bubble of glass, creating alluring microcosms that can be held in the palm of your hand. Each bauble is blown with a durable glass loop allowing one to wear their personal space-scape around their neck if they wish.

Never be afraid to ask for what you want. No wish is too small, no desire too outlandish. The Universe will always provide when the request is made with pure intention and love! ~ Creator
