April: On Nature

April 19

Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from another Yogi teabag. 

Despite the damage to humans and everything we’ve built, hurricanes stir and thrash the ocean waters, mixing and redistributing nutrients like a blender, further supporting life that may not have had access to them before. They balance the planet’s temperatures by moving excess heat from the equator, bringing it to the atmosphere where it is cooled. 

And when disaster strikes unexpectedly in your life, when there is violence and war and sickness and political upheaval, know that it is a storm, stirring the stillness, but from it, life and ideas and love will spread to places they once did not reach.

The storms and rain are chaos, yes, but they are born of nature from Earth, and never forget that from their brutality, comes beauty and life.
