I am with you Split. I like to look to nature for models of how to be. Nature never builds artless sunsets. Never has a wave broken on a shore without grace. In fact, I look at trees growing, and I believe they are obeying God’s law.

God makes it real simple for trees, grow or die. And every one is doing one or the other. They have no choice.

My spirituality is like that, grow or die. Like the Big Book says, We have a daily reprieve contingent on our spiritual condition.

Trees, clouds, water, they walk the spiritual walk without exception. I, on the other hand, can chose to wander off into the darkness, or stay here on the path.
