Creation is everything – all that exists is creation—
the earth, the sky, the plants, the animals, human beings . . .
Creation is everything that exists and it “speaks”!

Speaks? Communication.
There is verbal and non-verbal communication (methods of “speaking”).
Most of us have tried to figure out what a baby was “saying”
even when there was no sound, just moving and looking –
and we know that a droopy plant is trying to tell us it needs water –
and a sky formation might be “saying” that a storm is coming.

BUT—what about when just the presence of something or
someone can tell us (speak to us) about existence and
how it works for them, what are their characteristics?

There are individuals who, when they walk into a room,
their presence is “felt” by others in the room –
why does that not happen with everybody?
Why not look at why that is true and why not look around
outside at “nature” and explore what makes each thing we see
different from others and what makes us notice some

This is what drew me to notice the world outside my dwelling
and explore what made each item what it is, for example,
what makes a dandelion a dandelion, my first step into exploring how Creation Speaks.

A few interesting dandelion facts:
• Dandelion is rich source of vitamins A, C and K.
It also contains high level of iron, calcium and potassium.
• Seed can travel 5 miles before it finally reaches the ground.
• Seed of dandelion has disk-like extension that acts
like a parachute and facilitates dispersal by wind.
• Dandelion is useful in gardens because it improves quality
of the soil by increasing the content of nitrogen and other minerals.

Overwhelming to think about what I could gain
if I dig deeper into “hearing” the lessons from the life of the dandelion—WOW!

Going even deeper,
what can I learn about each part of creation that may be a “life” principle –
a lesson for survival –
a picture of how all creation is interrelated –
a piece of the puzzle that IS . . .
I want to “listen” as Creation Speaks . . .

As beauty and wonder fill my heart/mind,
I want to perceive the deeper messages. . .

LIFE sharing LIFE . . .
as Creation Speaks and I “listen” . . .
