In reading over Esther Warner Dendel’s words, “It takes a certain maturity of mind to accept that nature works as steadily in rust as in rose petals,” it occurs to me that while my mind, which is hooked up to that portion of my training as a human being in this lifetime that tells me that I must be doing something every minute of the day, has a tug of war with the muscles of my body which are saying, “Stay still. Be quiet. Do no thing.”
When things are not seeming to go fast enough for my satisfaction, these are wonderful words which remind me that nature/spirit has a plan and ways of bringing everything to a divine order and fruition. Everything really is in its own right place and right time.
It really is a maturity stage to arrive at and linger upon; loving as much the rust forming and the rose petals unfolding.
It is in the eye of the beholder and the mind of maturation where the loveliness of both can say, “Ahhhhhhh!”
As I sit back and take a breather, I find that I don’t mind this process at all.
