Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Everything in nature contributes to something else — like the hundred-year-old tree that stood tall until a wind storm. The protection it gave to thousands of birds and squirrels it now gives to insects and fungi. As it slowly decays, it nourishes the ground, and from the enriched soil grow several other trees.
We human beings are part of this eternal cycle, our ideas and actions enriching those around us and influencing generations yet to come. Being part of this vast plan gives us comfort, and faith that everything that happens is meant to be. Our hearts fill with joy with the knowledge that we are needed, just as every tree is needed.
How do I fit into nature’s plan today?
