There is something to learn anytime and anywhere. Knowledge sprouts on the tiny buds rising to greet the sun and the waters that battle each other during the stormy nights. It’s chirped by the morning birds flying past your window each morning and by the tiny ants that scramble and work together to collect the day’s food. This series of blog posts is called “Inspiration From Nature”, dedicated to discovering the tiny lessons the natural, little things hold for us, which we fail to notice as we run to catch our buses and dreams. Today’s lesson begins from which you might think is plain and old grass:
Grass isn’t very interesting; actually it’s not interesting at all… it’s everywhere in Canada and on everyone’s lawn (I wasn’t trying to rhyme but that worked out great!) It becomes green with chlorophyll in the spring and summers and dies buried under the heavy weight of snow during the winters. This year is slightly different however. Spring isn’t officially here in Calgary; it usually arrives in April. And yet when I walk to school and back, with every passing February day, I see more grass grow green. Grass isn’t suppose to begin growing green until Sunday March 20, 2016, the first day of spring, Nature.
They don’t wait for the “perfect” moment nor wait for a signal; they just bloom
Grass, flowers and nature don’t follow a calendar or schedule. They don’t wait for the “perfect” moment nor wait for a signal; as soon as the conditions turn in their favor, they just bloom. Nature seizes every opportunity to grow and all organisms adapt to make the most of their environmental advantages, instead of trying, with all their might, to change the environment in order to fit them.
If you’re looking for the “perfect moment”, there might be no such thing as “perfect”; similar to how grass doesn’t seek a “perfect” temperature to grow. Learn to adapt to the environment as it constantly undergoes changes. Then seize the opportunity, and bloom.
