“By looking to the Source, to the Creator of nature, we can remember how to navigate life organically, with less struggle, and less suffering.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson“God is not only something metaphysical, but also the physical world, the plants and animals, the mountains and rivers, the air and the sun and the earth.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson“It is not required that we know all of the details about every stretch of the river. Indeed, were we to know, it would not be an adventure, and I wonder if there would be much point in the journey.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson“We trust nature to know what it is doing, but we are not nearly so kind, understanding and trusting of our own rhythms and cycles. It's ridiculous that we are so hard on ourselves. Can we not trust that the very same forces that created the rhythms and cycles of nature created our own? Of course we can. We often don't, but we can, if we remember.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson, The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace“The sun shines on all and all alike, It's not surprising that we feel good when we immerse ourselves in nature.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson, The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace“From a spiritual perspective, each individual heart is a place where Divine love is expressed and experienced. That's what it's designed for. That love shows up in an unlimited number of shapes and sizes, colors and flavors. We are here to love, as big and as fearlessly as we possibly can.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson, The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace“We often think that there is just one way to look at things - the way we always have. In fact, there are an infinite number of ways to look at most everything. An open mind allows for a multitude of perspectives from which to choose in any given moment. That suppleness of mind allows for true choice, and opens us to a whole new realm of possibility.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson, The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace“Look to your heart and soul first, rather than looking to your head first, when choosing. Rather than what you think, consider instead how you feel. Look to the nature of things. Feel your choices and decisions. It just might change everything.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson, The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace“We are, as a culture and as a specias, in the midst of a great awakening, remembering that there is a nature of things, an inherent, Divine design. The more aware of and in alignment with that design we can become, the more we will experience the deep desires of our hearts and souls, and perhaps, together, we can truly create a world that works for everyone.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson, The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace“Surely there is a knowing behind it all. There is a teacher, an expresser, a creator, an artist perhaps, a poet certainly that has designed and presented all of the clues that we need to navigate life with some degree of grace, and perhaps with a greater degree of happiness than we now have.”
Jeffrey R. Anderson, The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace“We have another chance to navigate, perhaps in a slightly different way than we did yesterday. We cannot go back. But we can learn.”
