HARMONY AND PEACE - THE EARTH AND ME 💙💚

In her poem 'Meadow Music', Garnett Ann Schultz describes the musical harmony of nature, in these words.

     I hear the meadow singing

     It finds the world complete,

     Across the valley drifts the mist

     Into the heavens sweet,

     Where green leaves meet the blue of sky,

     The mountainside so fair,

     I hear frogs piping in the marshes

     Upon the summer air.

     I held the meadow music

     So closely to my heart,

     The golden sunlight lit the world

     Such beauty to impart.

     All outdoor life about me,

     The bird notes - joyful sound,

     The meadow shared her music

     With God's world all around.💙💚

Mother Nature has a beautiful way of working and living in harmony. Every element and aspect of nature blends harmoniously and beautifully with one another, to create a wonderful melody and rhythm of life.
 
We human beings are also elements and creatures that inhabit this beautiful earth. However, are we always contributing to the harmony of the earth, by our melodic co-existance, with all the creatures that are co-travellers with us, on our journey of life; or are we the discordant notes in that melody, that distort the harmonious and melodious flow of life, in the world around us?🤔

I think sometimes, it's nice if we take a minute, to ponder on whether, we are the ones who build bridges between people; or whether we are those individuals, who cause discord and distrust among people. 

Am I a person who spreads the light of peace and harmony, in my own little space on this planet; or am I the reason for the constant upheaval in my family, friend circle, building, neighbourhood, school or community? 

Am I a bright ray of sunshine, that can brighten up any room, just by being in it; or am I that one discordant note, in a melodious choir, that can ruin the most exquisite musical masterpiece, because I choose to be, out of sync with the harmony.

Everyone prefers peace over war; but peace can be interpreted in so many different ways. Apart from having peace between nations and countries, the world would be a much better place, if every person chose to be peaceful, in their own little corner.🕊

Being a person who chooses to be peaceful, and a 'bridge-builder' at all times, and in all situations, is a choice I make. 

Being a person, who chooses to add to the harmonious melody of the Earth, is a personal choice. 

To be 'a person of peace', who chooses to peacefully co-exist, with every person that crosses my path in life, is my choice.

To be a person who stays away from fights, arguments and from using words and language, that could hurt another person, is my choice.

I think, that if every person, just trains himself or herself, to think peaceful thoughts, works hard at behaving in peaceful ways; and if every person, constantly and consciously, tries to add to the harmonious music in the meadow of life, this world that we live in, would be even more beautiful than it already is. ✨️❤️
