A Sufficiency of Good

I believe there is a sufficiency of air to provide breath for every life. I also believe in a Creator who provides a “spiritual presence” within all that is created.

I find it a wonder that seeds can winter underground, and, when it is Spring and the growing time is at hand, seeds respond to an inner signal to open. A seed grows and for a purpose. Within the process of flowering, seeds form in a sufficient number, to insure a new generation of life.

I have watched deer eat plant life in the woods. The deer seem careful in how they feed. They don't eat every leaf from a plant, While there are still some leaves left, I've watched deer move to another plant. It is my belief that deer are guided in their feeding so that a remnant of each plant is left behind. The remnant will produce full growth again, for a time, when it is needed.

I believe the Spiritual presence I observe in Nature, is in us, is in every life, and is in every creation. I believe there is a similar Presence guiding the earth and the universe, as well.

How wonderful it is to learn, at the feet of Nature, the truth that the Creator provides an outer domain to shelter lives and an inner Presence to guide lives in their endeavors. The Inner Presence insures that, in the challenges that life brings, every creation will find support.
