The intelligence of life, the Mighty Oak Tree, and my very small personal mind

AHA'S AND ACTION:

Here are 2 thoughts, 2 inspirations, and 1 question for you to reflect on this week…

2 THOUGHTS FROM ME

1. Sometimes I look at a big, beautiful oak tree and think—that tree knows exactly what to do. It doesn’t stress. It doesn’t overthink. It knows when to let go, when to rest, and when to grow. That’s the intelligence of life in action.

Meanwhile, my personal mind is over here spinning—trying to figure everything out, stressing about this or that. And honestly? I’ve started laughing at how silly it is. I mean, really—does the oak tree need a five-step plan to get through fall?

2. What I’ve come to realize is that the same wisdom guiding nature is also available to us. But the personal mind is loud. It wants control. It wants certainty.

That deeper mind—the one connected to life itself—it’s quiet. But it’s always there. And when I stop listening to the noise, I can feel it.

2 INSPIRATIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE

1. “You are part of the intelligence behind life, not separate from it.” by Sydney Banks.

2. Biologist Rupert Sheldrake suggested that nature is guided by invisible organizing patterns—an innate intelligence that flows through all living things. That same intelligence flows through you and me, too.

1 QUESTION FOR YOU

1. What’s your personal mind trying to figure out right now—and what might shift if you stopped taking it so seriously?
