The Flower of Life

We are all connected. Even though we each live in our own little world, our world's overlap, like a Venn diagram. The image above is often referred to as the Flower of Life. I am very into sacred geometry, as I believe it is the closest link we have to bridging science and spirituality. This pattern is simply made from 61 overlapping circles. It is representative of countless natural processes in nature, including cell replication. I believe it is also a great visual representation of how we all co-create our world.  

Imagine each circle is a human life. An independent entity, but infinitely connected to the whole. If you are at all interested in this, I highly recommend reading more into it. There is a lot of pretty cool information out there. Here is a simple image showing where this comes from, and how you can draw it for yourself.

If you are anything like me, you easily become overwhelmed by the woes of the world, and want to do everything you can to make it a better, brighter, more loving place than it seems to be. It seems like such a simple idea: a world full of compassion, sharing, love, and peace. It is here, all around us, but it can only be real if we pay attention, much like silence.

Naturally, I wish I could make everyone think like me. Alas, life just doesn't work that way. My dad once told me, "The hardest thing in the world to do is to change yourself, so what makes you think you will ever be able to change someone else?" It seemed so true, I almost laughed. Ever since, I have focus inward, attempting to make myself the best person I can be. Positive change internally creates positive effects externally. If I become better, then maybe in a small way, so has the world.

Be the ripple that knows it is also the river. Let life dance through you.

That's all for now Friends,
