Nature or Nurture

 

 

 

Nature or Nurture

 

Both the Same

 

She works this way.

 

 

 

Upon the mighty trees

 

Their arms spread wide, did they?

 

Down to the smallest birds

 

And the wide eyed animals

 

Bathing in the glow

 

Of the mighty Thunder as It speaks

 

In volumes to all those citizens below

 

Who wait in silent wonder

 

Not seeking shelter

 

For the blessings to be bestowed

 

upon these wild-eyed ones

 

Called burdened beasts and all the birds,

 

The voiceless,

 

The Least of all!

 

And so, the Blessing falls and soaks

 

Them all

 

While all the higher class of

 

Esteemed Ones

 

Shelter in the safety of their

 

Modern Caves and bless the Lord

 

For their gift to be inside

 

Sheltered from the onslaught

 

Of it All,

 

Unlike the lowly beasts of the field!

 

But, irrespective how it seems

 

And from whose eyes its seen

 

The storm it falls and casts its thrall

 

Upon them all – without regard

 

To where and who they are.

 

For that’s not the purpose of any

 

Of this seemingly surreal surrender.

 

This blessing is simply dependent

 

Upon how

 

One is receptive to it.

 

Or Not.

 

Unconditional…

 

It’s the Receipt, or the right of Decline

 

And that’s the

 

POWER OF IT ALL!

 

Because in the CHOICE one installs

 

WITHIN ONESELF

 

The benefit of Each and Everyone

 

Else’s GIFTING!

 

Each Honoring Receiver becomes

 

A Power Inducer and passes it on

 

To his or her Neighbor

 

Until the Energy of it all

 

Runs – Not out of Steam

 

 But of Transmitters.

 

Because only then…

 

Everyone and Everything

 

Irrespective of Choice

 

Has

 

Been

 

Touched or Blessed

 

Or Even Both!

 

By

 

Each and Every Other Dynamic Being

 

Because, in each of our presence

 

We are in receipt

 

Of being Blessed!

 

How Loving Is That?

 

The words PEACE or LOVE

 

Could well be defined as such!
