Don't Forget to Reflect

On this Easter Sunday there’s plenty room for self-refection, deep thoughts, deep prayer, and deep love. I had a wonderful conversation with my friend Bobbee about many things, but one ever-present topic was the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). There are positives that have come and can come from this nightmare of a negative. In no way is death a positive just as in no way is having a contagion lingering, that causes death, a good thing, in any scenario. But my friend and I both agreed that this is Mother Nature’s time to rest and come out and play and our time to reflect. When Life for you returns to normal, what “you" will you return to? If you’re happy with yourself, sweet, but there’s always room for improvement. And if you’re so happy with yourself that you believe that you’re the best thing in town, you still need some fine tuning. A Maserati still needs an oil change. Put simply this is time for you and everyone around world to sit quietly in peace and meditate to “deep self-reflection, deep thoughts, deep prayer, and deep love.” But it is also good time to think outwardly as well, while Mother’s resting their haven’t been any earthquakes and there’s less pollution because less people are outside, less traffic. The Environment is healing during this nightmare. It has asked us many times and many ways to slow down but no one ever listens. So Mother Nature, with her great big hands pushed the stop button. So when this is all over will the world be more environmentally conscious for the sake nature? Will you think what the Wildlife is forced to eat is what we leave it? If you don’t feel like changing anything else about you, at least the state of the environment will make you change? To visibly see true emotion when your emotions strangle your soul and your heart is wrapped in a cause, a strong will and true love for the environment, one does not have to look too far as leaders like young Greta Thunberg and Vice-President Al Gore. But when you change one thing for the better you quickly start to see that there other things than a better role in the environment to change. For example, maybe you’re not good at saying “I love you”, the will that it took you to want to play a positive role in the environment, is the same “will” that is going to help you say “I love you”. I believe while Nature is resting, we should rest in “self-reflection, in deep thoughts, in deep prayer, and in deep love”.Peace and love and Happy Easter. “Don’t Forget to Reflect”, by Daniel Alberdeston©2020 www.danielalberdestonphotography.com©2020 @danielalberdestonphotography.com©2020 #canonphotography #surfermagazine #surfphotographer #eastcoastsurfing #puertorico #writer #Faith Bodyboarder: Carlos Cruz Enhaustegui @Tuluum
