Green Art
Memories lost but residue still ripples life’s pond
Mind’s walls separate, while Love’s bridges tie together
Natural forces take us home to calm and peace, to the present untethered.
Even photos of nature can connect us with the calming frequencies in nature through our imagination and mental vibrations. We are made of the same stuff, but plants and animals live more in harmony with the Great Principle and the Laws of Nature. Everything in nature can inspire us! The energy in nature and Mother Earth energizes, renews us and helps raise our conscious frequency and awareness.
What we can perceive
Many things speak to me through analogy in this setting. The natural plant growth, trees, rounded stones, ripples in the water and the endless, open sky. The ingenious human use of water, the split rail fence and stacked stone walls, and the reflection of the mill in the pond.
It’s interesting that when we look at the reflection of the mill in the pond it appears upside-down to us. With water being a symbol of mind, it is an analogy that we can mentally perceive things in a polar condition, dual or upside-down. Yet, we can also perceive both the illusion and the cause, and know the difference. We can see beyond the substance and feel the spirit and be inspired.
The benefits
This setting calms me and I can rest in the serenity. Green plants in nature normally have a very healing energy with soothing vibrations, a quality of open living, abundance, growth and love. From the analogy of their presence, they are very connected to the Life of the Universe, Universal Life Energy, and rooted in the present moment of living their soul purpose.
Interestingly, the heart chakra is associated with the frequency of the color green. With an open and tender heart we are abundant in love, giving and receiving love and life energy. In a natural condition it is the center of our life; we feel through it. But, the heart chakra can become overburdened with subconscious negativity and become damaged. Being in nature can help cleanse, heal and inspire us because we are emotionally reconnecting with our natural heart state.
We have house plants because they are alive and inspire us in more ways that providing oxygen. We line city streets with trees and make gardens on terraces. We cultivate an attitude of conservation of our forests, wildlife and oceans. Green is vital for our life!
The gift of art and what it does for You
I took this photo on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, USA. It’s called Mabry Mills and You are welcomed to use it for your own creativity and art. Creativity is a quality of Love.
Art is a creative expression, communication and statement. Art also gets us to think, ask questions, wonder. It can inspire us to be conscious of feeling something which manifests in our behavior. So, art can inspire us to create too! Great art inspires us to lookup within to our Higher Self and Love.
One of my spiritual teachers gave a wonderful lesson on – ‘I am the artist.’ Think about it! Creativity is a natural expression of our soul. It’s a self-help type of thing if we are conscious!
In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
Are You the artist? Are You inspired in some way by this scene? Comments and insights welcomed. Remember your Higher Self and Soul never hesitates!
Consider this quote to reflect upon:
“…through THE REALIZATION OF THE ABSOLUTE HERE NEAR US, CLOSE AT HAND, WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES WITH ALL ITS POWERS. There is nothing closer to us than the Great Principle, because out of Its Own Self has It created us and IN IT WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING.”
Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 39.

Yes, indeed some things are not meant to be expressed in words and cannot always be done! Everyone can take some message, some emotion. And, yes even to different dimensions!! Thank You Jim!
Thank you! I was an Art Education major because I really believe in the power of art for expressing things that are otherwise very hard to describe. Art is an immensely powerful tool, that can take one to different dimensions!
I’ve been here many times and it truly inspires! This Mill is still in working order, and they sell the stone ground wheat etc…it is art at its finest. Thank you Dear Friend for sharing your wisdom, it uplifts me and takes me to a place of innocence as a child feels and sees the wonder of nature!
Love Always, MelissaLB
Thank You! I love the way You express belonging like the pond, because we are like the pond, like the trees, like the endless sky and the more we realize this the happier we are. The freer we feel. The stronger. The more fulfilled. You inspire me!
Portia…You offer the art of encouragement through the very invitation to perceive the depth of the moment, even in a photograph. This is totally capturing…serene and healing. The roots must run throughout the forest setting…and I’m happy to imagine the feeling of belonging there, like the pond.
Thank you. I am inspired to accept the lesson.
