Depending upon where we are standing in our lives we each of us are looking out from our own vantage point on life. I was looking out of my window the other day at the blossoms on the shrubs and admiring them. I was watching the blackbird gather worms from the lawn to fly back into the bushes to feed his young, when I thought what life from their perspective view point would be like. As they fly backwards and forwards across our garden.
I was in the allotments planting Peas yesterday and Swedes seeds, and unearthed many beetles and spiders as I disturbed their homes.. What a traumatic upheaval for them as their world was destroyed by my digging. And how indifferent we can seem about their plight!
Seeing the world from another perspective, whether spiritually or mentally, can introduce you to all sorts of hidden treasures. How we react to Insects is an example, as we often hold the fear our parents passed down to us, (and how many more views we hold onto which is passed down via our upbringing) that is why I try to teach my now 4 yr old Granddaughter not to fear spiders, insects and caterpillars.. And teach her everything has a right to Life, that we are all of us part of a huge chain that interlinks with one another.
Spiders may seem to some fearsome, ugly, and frightening, And yet they manage to weave something so beautiful we could never hope to create, and there is nothing more beautiful than catching a spiders web in the morning light full of dew
There may be at times experiences in life that from your vantage point may seem worrying, confusing and terrifying, we have all been there at some point. Or there may be events that look insignificant from where you are standing right now.
Whatever perspective we view our world from; it’s often good practice to see another’s point of view. Humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control, and survival, instead of one of trust and collaboration with the universe. So we grow up believing we must compete instead of co-operate
There are plenty of things that we cannot control, no matter how hard we try. But we can live by our values, which allow us to become a positive source of inspiration for others.
We may not be able to help those in far off places whose lives are a struggle, with conflict and war, or who are adrift in the ocean seeking refuge from the traumas of their own countries, But by simply being yourself, you can help the people in your life see how one person can make a difference by being a living example of consciousness. And we do that by recognizing and acknowledging the inherent value in everyone you encounter. Be it a Human or Insect.. Sometimes, the easiest way to encourage people – even challenging ones – to respect others is to respect them first.
The interconnectedness of all living beings using concrete, everyday examples. Many people are unaware of how their actions affect the world and are intrigued when they learn of the power they hold.
We each of us have that POWER, and we can do that by our own actions and intentions.. We do it by embracing the Positive, encouraging Peace and Tolerance and not allowing ourselves to get caught within the traps being set by Fear..
Love and Blessings

I like that idea, about St Francis of Assisi being a prime attractor. I suppose when you stop to think about it there have been many such masters who have moved humanity on within their framework of thinking. or who have through their inventiveness allowed the evolutionary step to leap further.. One only has to look at Electricity the Light bulb, and the Telephone to see how one man’s thoughts have changed humanity.. Then we have people like Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King.. whose words still inspire..

Point of peaceful co-existence giving due respect to our Eco system so nicely driven home, Sue. Just a week back, while I was striding on my usual walking trail early in the morning, I saw the newspaper boy suddenly stop his bike in front of me pointing fearfully to a slithering snake across the path. He was obviously wanting to co-opt me to beat it to death, and seemed rather surprised to see me walk past it as if nothing happened. I told him not to disturb it and let it go its way, dinning it into his ears that the earth also belonged to the reptiles, as much as our claim on it. You grand kids are lucky to have you around…best wishes… Raj.

Wow, Sue, this is amazing. If you think of it, it even saves money. I know people in cities are not used to the variety of insects that people in the country are. So there’s a lot of money invested in exterminating pests. They probably feel it’s worth it because urban dwellings may have not permitted them to learn about the cycles of these animals. I suppose the more you know about them, the better. Insects are among what they call “vermin”.

I can’t bear spiders Sue, have the most awful fear of fear but their webs…! I could stare at them for hours, such beautiful pieces of architecture, so fine but strong. I know what you mean about how we cause them such great upheaval without thinking. A few months ago I emptied a bucket of water outside and realised too late an ant colony was busy working till I threw what would amount to a massive tidal wave to us over them and I just stood staring at it thinking how awful that was! Have to be honest though and say there is no love lost between spiders and I, me the warrior and they don’t have a chance – Roger is far more humane with them. I try to be different, I love all creatures but the 8 legged variety and I am conscious that I am being very cruel!

I enjoyed this post very much, Sue. It’s true what you’ve written: our gardening disturbs the earth. Turning over rocks sends creepy-crawlies scrambling for cover. A worm or two may die when planting a tree… It brought up for me again a thought that comes from time to time, about destruction and creation being interwoven. I was speaking with a friend who doesn’t eat meat the other day, and she was mentioning, of her own volition, her awareness of the research that shows plants are sensitive to their surroundings as well… Is nothing safe??? How do we truly live without causing any “harm”, any change– indeed, as harm is so often in the eyes of the beholder…?
I am starting to wonder about a deeper unity and what it implies about these things… I attended a talk once several years ago that was given by a Huichol elder who described a pact between beings at the heart of the world, to nourish one another, of lives given that others might live, and that this giving is part of the essence of creation. Our impacts upon other beings should not be taken lightly, and yet at the same time we have to move about a bit in this world to live our lives… I’m just rambling here, circling around a sensation that what is true is far deeper and more widespread in its embrace of our every move than we may suspect…
We live in a time of such incredible questions… 🙂
Your gardens are beautiful!

The two go hand in hand.. I have a feeling in my bones right now that the world may well witness more upheaval from Mother Nature as she shakes us a little more to take notice ..
You can ramble any time Michael, Everything has an effect upon everything else.. And people do not realise that we all of us affect the ‘Whole’..
I think if we really understood the Law of Vibration, and Cause and Effect we would ALL of us start to live our lives that much more differently.. For what we think we create..

Very true Kourtney.. Would that we could see from another’s point of view.. and see what makes one take to crime.. We only see the end results of crime.. Not what leads a person to commit them.. And I am sure we would learn a lot if we had to walk in their shoes.. Good Point Kourtney.. 🙂

It would be so illuminating. Might help us steer people away from those paths. Or at least find ways to help them before they must go down those paths. 🙂

When we notice the wildlife in our gardens, we seem to connect more within Nature.. And today I watched the sparrows feeding their young on our bird table.. 🙂 good to see them . we have around 20 that visit.. So I was surprised when I learned that sparrows are in danger around the UK and their numbers are declining.. due to hedgerows disappearing and modern housing materials which stop them nesting.. I have been into Spring Watch on TV again this week.. Always a joy to watch.. You too enjoy your week.. Its half gone already 🙂 Love Sue ❤

Some people just break down under the pressures of life.
When we know what their problem is we can be sympathetic.
As for spiders and insects I would be cautious in handling some.
But most creatures will not hurt you if you do not frighten or hurt them.
You have written a good post Sue reminding us not to be judgemental.

If I lived in Australia Jack.. I am most sure I would be handling insects and spiders with caution.. 🙂 thankfully most of our species are not as deadly as some of your own.. 🙂 And its like plants.. I am teaching my granddaughter about plants.. What she can touch and ones to avoid.. She had a lovely day with us yesterday in which she got to taste and smell Chives, Mint, Parsley, Rosemary, and Sage.. and Lavender.. I played a game with her with her senses, and she remembered which was which via smell.. 🙂 I am happy you enjoyed reading Jack.. Blessings my friend _/\_

Nice to see you here Sue taking time out of the garden, yet writing about the beauty of nature and the power we have within ourselves when we keep a positive vibe. ❤

A lovely post Sue and funny that I’ve read two posts this morning about the mindfulness towards spider, you might enjoy this story of the spider who lost her egg sac and found it again 🙂 http://liberatedway.com/2015/05/28/on-being-mindful-and-responsible-to-living-things/
