Shifts in Consciousness - Dust, Cones and the Evergreen

Our consciousness contributes directly to our state of being.  The thoughts we think, the things we do, how we view the world.  What if we were to shift our thoughts from our world of linear thinking to that of a grand view of the world?  Every thought, every action and every part of your being plays a part in the grand scheme of life itself.

Imagine a spec of dust flying through the air, landing on a flower or a cone from a tree.  Another spec lands next to it and the two begin to converse. They talk about where they have been, where they want to go and the land and sea they have both seen.  They originally came from different parts of the world, yet the two know inside they are of the same substance.  The two decide to merge.  The two specs of dust now become one little pile.  They sit on a cone of a neighboring evergreen tree and soon the rain begins.  The rain mixes with the dust and now the muddy little pile slithers down onto the muddy ground where again it unites with the ground and dust already there.  The cone emits a seed that plants itself into the ground where the dust has settled and soon an evergreen is sprung into the air high and mighty.  The evergreen bears cones itself and soon it drops to the ground to continue it's cycle.  More specs of dust come and settle among the cones and soon the rain begins to pour yet once again.

We are all dust, we are cones and some of us are evergreens.  When we shift our consciousness into that of merging with the all, we create together in harmony.  Although we are different, we know each one of us is necessary to the all of life.  We all play a part, no matter how little a spec of dust we are or how big of an evergreen we become, we are still necessary, still matter in the scheme of life.

Today take time to connect with your part that you play in our world.  Will you settle like dust into your life, will you plant seeds for your tomorrow, or will you reach to the sky and stretch your limits like the evergreen?  The choice for the way of your being is yours, the consciousness, the cycle are already there.  It's just waiting for you to discover within yourself.
