Harmony

This morning I went out to check on the catbird nest in our front yard and found the nest disrupted with the female and the eggs missing — not what I anticipated but a good lesson on harmony for me.  Looking at the big or long term picture nature and natural systems provide a very fine example of balance and harmony.  I can sense the harmony when I am with nature and I am very grateful for it.  That harmony is beautiful to see and feel but it also means that many of  the cute little birds of the season end up dying and becoming food for something else.  That death is part of the beauty.  During my life (I am 71!) there have been many things that did not go as planed which was part of their beauty and I am grateful,
