The blue rock is a stone worthy of emulation.
Earth.
Earth is home to a million species, and they are all intertwined. In the struggle of the ecosystem, the earth still maintains its delicate balance. It is resilient, with boundless potential for renewal and growth. From the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, from sprawling deserts to dense forests, every part of our planet tells a story of survival, adaptation, evolution, and beauty.
I mean who would've thought something so gloomy and bleak could become something so impeccable? After a natural disaster occurs, like the recent Makurdi flood, green shoots emerge from the charred ground, symbolizing hope and new beginnings.
This resilience teaches us that even in our darkest moments, there is always potential for growth and recovery, there is always room for growth and not dormancy. That we too, can rise from ashes when we reach rock bottom, like the phoenix.
The cycles of nature—day turning into night, seasons changing in their timeless rhythm—offer us a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing change. Whenever our lives rotate on their axis, and we face the darkness, we should rest assured that no matter how the night seems to crawl, the sun will always find a crack to seep in.
In the end, the earth is more than just a physical place. It is a source of inspiration, a teacher, and a home. If you are careful to observe Mother Earth, she will open to you secrets that you have not come to realize before, in it lies the profound understanding of how we are born and how we die, what we came to the world to achieve, and why we wake up every day to do one or two things.
Have you ever taken time to consider what would happen if the earth lost its balance for a day? What would happen if the water and oceans suddenly stopped flowing? What would happen if the trees and plants stopped growing and there were no fruits and vegetables anymore? What would happen if the sun refused to come up and shine or the moon decided to visit us at noontime? Have you considered what would happen if the balance tipped towards wild animals and they came visiting every home on hind feet? What would happen if the birds in the air suddenly refused to fly?
The earth teaches us the delicate activity of balancing itself every single day. Each drop of rain is a life-sustaining drop; each gust of wind is for sustaining life, and none must be taken for granted. By imitating and embracing the lessons the earth provides, we can build a life that is filled with hope and endless possibilities, especially in this not-so-friendly economy.
