There is history on what St. Patrick’s Day commemorates and celebrates. All of that is for another article. St Patrick’s Day to me is the color of green, and the leprechauns whose character brings a smile to my face.
The color of green reminds me spring and the rebirth of nature is on its way. Try closing your eyes and imagine the color of green; and see how it brings brightness to your mind.
On the other hand, let little things like the cuteness of leprechauns bring a moment of joy. I imagine that little leprechaun dancing upon my yard and saying, “good tidings for another spring comes”. Or let us use our imagination to see the leprechaun spreading of his magic dust to bring in that green of spring.
If we can accept of what nature brings and transpires to each season we become more true to ourselves. We will be less stressed and be trusting to the universe to bring nature as it is meant to be. And deciding that nature’s best is what is coming into being; this acceptance is our agreement with the universe to bring the best for all. The result is being more content in our lives; because we release this to trust. By acceptance of what is, contentment brings us to a healthy state of mind. Develop credence and cultivate wisdom by being happier with what the universe has transpired. At times we will question this because of the incredible storms and disasters, but have confidence that these things are with the natural regeneration that is meant for transcendence to newness.

Let us see nature as it rebirths itself. Live in the fruition of a new spring to come, and find moments of rejuvenation. Take a walk and feel the vibration of this happening in the stillness or silence of all the earth’s essences. Be grateful for the miracles that transpire each season and find joy in watching it develop to beauty of green. By finding grace in such little things, it inspires us to a whole new appreciation for the meaning of our lives.
