Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World
Soul has been demoted to a new-age spiritual fantasy or a missionary's booty,
and nature has been treated , at best,
as a postcard or a vacation backdrop or, more commonly,
as a hardware store or refuse heap.
Too many of us lack intimacy with the natural world and with our souls,
and consequently we are doing untold damage to both.
through dreams, deep emotion, love,
the quiet voice of guidance, synchronicities, revelations,
hunches, and visions,
and at times
through illness, nightmares, and terrors.
are deadly to industrial growth economies -
and vice versa.
(if we have any quiet exposure to her)
through her spontaneities,
through her beauty, power, and mirroring,
through her dazzling variety of species and habitats,
and by way of the wind, Moon, Sun, stars, and galaxies.
is the very core of our human nature,
we might note that,
when we are guided by soul,
we are guided by nature.
Both soul and greater nature
do guide us in our individual development,
whether or not we ask for this guidance.

On this path, the smallest things are honored
and the greatest things are seen as ordinary.
From Tao Te Ching,
Chapter 63
The judge inside our heads
has a twisted view of life.
Money and power tip the scales
in most decisions.
Economic power,
religious power,
military power,
status, achievement,
and possessions are the exhibits
in the case before the bench.
Don’t let this judiciary decide your case.
Go to the court within your heart
where the unseen, quiet, simple things
weigh more than anything
the conditioned mind can muster.
--
When Lao-Tzu talks of, “smallest things,” he is not referring just to size.
He is speaking of the way we categorize life
into the “significant” or “insignificant.”
The Tao, he says, stands our categories on their heads.
The people we do not notice are likely the most enlightened and wise.
The events that do not make the headlines
are the pivot points about which the future turns.
The artifacts we take for granted and seldom even see
have the greatest value.
On the other hand, the people whose names dominate our media
and fill our conditioned minds
are actually insignificant and unworthy of notice,
let alone honor.
Events that dominate the headlines are never what they seem to be.
The trinkets that cost the most and underlie our massive debts are really very ordinary and of little use.
Do you notice examples in your experience?
