A dear friend of mine recommended a book she was reading – “Talking with Nature ~ Journey into Nature”. Of course I love all things about nature and ordered it, expecting it to be about, well … nature.

It arrived in the mail today. I randomly opened it to one page, read a few sentences and felt the truth of it at such a deep level, tears welled up. I opened to another page, and thought: wow! Another page, and I uttered to myself – holy sh*t! Here I am folding laundry trying to simultaneously hold the book open and do the tasks at hand, that’s how excited I was to dive into it.

So I decided to begin from the beginning. And again, a few pages in, I cried again. Trust and letting go are such easy concepts to banter about, yet when everything we hold dear in the world is on the line, not so easy after all.

So I’ll quote you a bit from the first few pages and let’s see where it goes. I’m sure there will be much more to quote from down the road.

“Let go and fall into the river.
Let the river of life sweep you beyond all aid from old and worn concepts.
I will support you.
Trust me.
As you swim from an old consciousness, blind to higher realities beyond your physical world, trust that I will guide you with care and love into a new stream of consciousness.
I will open a new world before you.
Can you trust me enough to let go of the known, and swim in an unknown current?”
