Everything that there is to be seen in nature can, in one way or another, be seen in people. All things in nature mirror each other in sometimes the most obvious ways.
A flowing river represents the constant change of time and the rapids in such a river can show troubles and danger. Whether or not you are in a raft at such a time or beside one is your choice but regardless the river runs into through and out of them.
A fire's brilliant glow and multitude of colors are the essence of personality as no two licks of flame are the same but they both still have identical burning feeling to the touch of an unwary onlooker. The way the fire of our soul burns is a direct reflection of our inner stability, emotion, and being.
A blade of grass is affected by changing winds, nourishing soul, and a sunny outlook. Need I say more? Like grass, we need 4 things to survive: cleansing water, a nourishing environment, ever changing winds (though not to strong), and a bright outlook on the world. If our view is dark and foreboding, then what reason do we have to partake in it? What motivation exists? We would be wasting the gift of our breath.
As you go on through your day, reflect on the things around you. Realize that just as you have had troubles, trees have had droughts and continue to flourish. The waves crash but always reform. Feel free to comment about the connections you guys have made :) no matter how abstract or symbolic :)

- We all walk along an infinite road on which only we can go. The nature of the road is ours to decide: rocky, smooth. Hot or cold. We are the architects of our minds and how we choose to build it is our business. But let's all hope when an earthquake hits, it'll all still hold up.
Very interesting thoughts .. I love the balance of nature & people's attitudes . It's good to see such positive thoughts :)
