nomenclature

     

   Humanity has always attempted to explain the unexplainable.  Every culture, every continent, every country has celebrated at least one story that explains the phenomenally undefinable power that is apparent to most people. We have shaped gods and messengers; brilliant and beautiful yarns have been woven to honor and celebrate how this miraculous existence is made possible. 

            Whatever you find that works for you, do it, believe it, eat it, dream it. There is no such thing as one right answer. There is no one right path. There is only a multitude of fantastic possibilities. There is beauty in and a necessity for diversity. Nature teaches us that diversity is that which makes life thrive. We see this in all natural spaces that humanity has left untouched. Mono-cultures become desserts. From Iraq to North Dakota there is evidence of this. The cultivation of single crops kills out natural vegetation. Life heaves a sigh and resigns itself from these plots of land. Why do we humans assume that we are so removed from nature that a human dessert would not be our destiny if we aim for mono-culture? In asking or expecting that all people worship “God’ using the same name and the same belief system, in demanding that one religion or spiritual practice is the only and right one, we ask that humanity give up an incredibly essential facet of our nature. We are all necessary. We are not good or bad, right or wrong. We just are. Necessary. Lovely. Perfect.
