I can share a wee reflection of this as I experienced it taking a tour through the country a few days ago. The experience lasted 3 seconds and the energy and opportunity to process it lasted all day. Ascwe were traveling along a small branch from a tree brushed up along side the vehicle making everyone recoil from it. Instead of moving away I grabbed it with the intent of snapping it off so it doesnt hurt anyone. Instead of doing that something inside me said...what right do you have to do this?... In confusion I held onto the branch... to long . When I let go it created a whipping action. It was horrifying as I waited to hear yelps if it hit someone else. In those 3 seconds I touched the idea of what right do I have to break something so beautiful to avoid a precieved discomfort of others. The sense of rightness through my ego came forward and quickly vanished. By holding it too long I created a much worse situation. Thankfully no one was hurt and there were many other branches that brushed the vehicle, which I left alone and just watched as people reacted to it. I sat in that moment all day. I felt the sadness and attachment of a perceived good intention gone amuck and the concept of the manipulation of nature. How foolish I felt. To sit in it, feel it. It became a doorway into so many other parts of me. A kaleidoscope of pictures and feelings. 💜
