A Gift of Nature

(May 05)

A  Gift of Nature

Our Body, which we habitually take for granted

is a miraculous creation and a pure Gift of Nature

for which we have a sacred duty to care for

and treat with respect at all times and circumstances.

Created without our conscious participation

other than the initial union of our parents

by bodily fluids which we humans

can neither rule, construct or create.

Its entire development and life long sustenance

solely depends upon endless sacrifices

of other of Nature's creatures

whether animals, plants, minerals or water.

If we stop for a minute and consider this concept

and the depth of its importance very carefully

especially since without it

we cannot experience this Life as we know it

          -and it is the Only One we Know-

it becomes clearly apparent that we have a duty

if nothing else to Ourselves, to Respect it for what it is,

what it means and what it does for us

right from our Birth and to the day we can no longer

take it with us...
