listen for what it intends to do with you.

Learning from nature
Look at a tree, a flower, a plant.
Let your awareness rest upon it.
How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being.
Allow nature to teach you stillness

Step by step
Those who serve life adapt to changes as they go along. Changes arise from the nature of time; those who know the nature of time do not have fixed ways. Therefore I say “Ways can be guides, but not fixed paths; names can be designated, but not fixed labels”.
Master Wen, Wen-Tzu, precise date unknown, c 5th century BC
