“Secrets and Marvels of Nature” is a compilation of segments from CBS Sunday Morning, which features unique situations in nature. It is joyous and hopeful! I loved watching people help sea turtles survive, seeing a pigeon refuge and understanding how wonderfully smart they are, or witnessing people who allow land to become what it was before we sterilized it. We are living in a time when nature appears to be under attack, and so these vignettes showing empathy and the goodness of people are beautiful and inspiring. It’s hopeful to see how one person can make a difference! For instance, with the sea turtles which are being saved, everyone is volunteering their time — including pilots who help with transportation. After their rehabilitation, their release back into the ocean was a joyous celebration! It reminded me of the story about the little boy throwing stranded starfish from the beach back to the ocean. A man asks him what he thinks he’s doing because he can’t save them all. The little boy says, “I saved that one!” I like looking at life that way, saving what I can and bringing joy wherever possible! Namaste …
“Nature voices natural, spiritual law and divine Love, but human belief misinterprets nature. Arctic regions, sunny tropics, giant hills, winged winds, mighty billows, verdant vales, festive flowers, and glorious heavens, — all point to Mind, the spiritual intelligence they reflect. The floral apostles are hieroglyphs of Deity. Suns and planets teach grand lessons. The stars make night beautiful, and the leaflet turns naturally towards the light.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 240:1-9
“The lion and the lamb lying down together symbolize that strength and innocence are not in conflict, but naturally live in peace. ‘Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God’ is another way of saying the same thing. A pure mind knows the truth and this is its strength. It does not confuse destruction with innocence because it associates innocence with strength, not with weakness.”
A Course in Miracles T-3.I.5:3-6
