When I look at this photo, at first I’m slightly confused. What is this? I see rocks and water but the rocks look like waves. Then it seems that the black area in the middle of the photo is a gaping mouth with rocky lips around it.
Actually you can see similar patterns in almost any fast flowing rock strewn stream amongst the Scottish hills.
What I’m looking at here is co-creation. The water is shaping the rocks and the rocks are shaping the water. Together they create this natural work of art, a constantly changing, fast flowing scene of beauty and power.
No plants, no animals visible but simply rock and water. Two of the four ancient elements. But together they convey an image, and an experience, of Life, of energy, and of creation.
They reveal a core truth about reality – all that exists is a result of co-creation. We don’t make ourselves. Rather we grow and develop in constant exchange and relationship with others, other people, other creatures, other forces and phenomena in Nature.
We are not alone. We are not separate. We co-create, co-habit, co-exist, co-evolve.
Is that a good enough reason to convince us to take care of this one small planet, and to treat others with the creative energies of love and kindness?
I think so.
