"There are some natures too noble to curb and too lofty to bend" - Little women
Gracefully said.
The lenient way of acceptance.
This is a very loving way of giving space to that which the society tries to put in a box.
And if you don't conform, then you are condemned.
Truth is, this sentence found its echo and has stricken a chord in many.
Why so?
Because that part of our true nature found at last some recognition.
The beauty of Nature lies in its silent, ever-giving creative force.
Usually, we love to make noise to attract attention.
The louder, the better. Even more in our current society.
Making a name in the society, having a title, making a show of oneself, being anti conformist etc. To leave a mark, to make a distinction from such and such.
Everything, whatever the form is, aims at one thing truly... To be seen. It begs for attention. It begs, in truth, for love.
Why Christmas time is so happy?
You go to a store and you feel like buying everything you see 😉
Why is it so?
Same store, once closed, drama is over. You'd run away from it at night time when it is empty.
Because the human warmth is gone.
Humans emit something joyful, even if themselves they don't know it.
So, it is not really the object you want to buy, but the experience of feeling the warmth of humanity, reflected on these items that gives you the joy and pushes you to grab hold of it.
Attention is the food that each soul, in truth, thirsts for.
Yet, with attention being such a valuable curren-cy, where does it flow?
Who's land do you irrigate with your attention?
You irrigate a land that is not yours, which fruits will never be yours. To eat.
You'll end up thirsty and hungry.
Lit the light inside first, grow in depth, then let it spread around.
Do not borrow someone else's light by mimicking it, because you think it is what the standard is.
Nor give your light to someone else, while you need it most.
Instead, forgive in yourself all the limitations and pain you feel,
So that your own light be allowed to shine and thus truly be seen.
To me, our true Nature, our true Essence is so noble that it just wait in silence for us to recognise it.
Our attention to it, will allow it to grow strong, straight and high, like a pine tree 🌲🌲🌲
So, it is more correct to say,
Our Nature is too noble to curb and too lofty to bend.
It is how we came in this life when born.
Then, why do we leave it so ugly looking?
