Nature's Lessons
When we list our favorite teachers Nature must be number one.
and one lesson she constantly teachers is: never compare ourself with anyone.
In all the years she’s been around this is something Nature knows.
You’ll never see her compare a dragonfly with a bee…or a daisy with a rose.
You’ll never see her compare a maple tree with an oak…or two clouds that paint the sky…
You’ll an ever see her compare an eagle with a mockingbird…or a moth to a butterfly.
She’ll never compare the sun that shines in the day with the moon that shines at night…
for she knows both of them will shine…when their time is right…
Nature wants to make it clear…she wants it to be known
Every thing…every creature in nature…has a beauty all it’s own.
Which is why we needn’t compare ourselves…to anyone to any person…anywhere.
Since we’re all as unique as we are beautiful…
there is no reason to compare.…
