Teaching as Jesus

S p iritu a l dependence

By RON RAGAN Director, Gilmary Diocesan Center One of the benefits of working on site at a retreat center is the opportunity to observe and enjoy on a dally basis the beauty that only nature can provide. Throughout the yearly seasonal cycle. I have the opportunity to experience daily, not only the natural beauty but also the spirit that seems to accompany each season. In summer, along with bright skies, shirt-sleeve temperatures and lush green foliage, there is a spirit particular to nature In full bloom. What immediately comes to mind is the image of the television commercial, “ It doesn't get any better than this."

In the fall, just as I begin to tire of the heat, temperatures begin to cool and “ mother nature" begins to display her colorful fall wardrobe. The season is alive with color and the spirit is one of anticipation, of continual, almost daily change. To me this is the only time of the year when "mother nature" changes the color of her clothing more often than my soon-to-be teen-age daughter. As the gentle transition that is so distinctively autumn slips quickly away, the stark reality of winter captures the scene. Even though the dark and the cold of winter strips away the fullness and color of plants and trees, It provides a natural substitution with the simplicity of bare branches and frozen scenes colored exclusively in white. The spirit of the season seems to bring me back into balance, to the appreciation of seasons past, the beauty of the present scenery, along with the anticipation of what Is yet to unfold. I associate winter with the image of biting into a peppermint candy bar. It's cool, refreshingly different, with a unique menthol taste, but It’s definitely not my favorite. As the seasonal changes approach full circle, I can only marvel at the emergence of spring. All of nature that lay in the rest and retreat of winter reawakens with new life and new growth. The explosion of new life Is accompanied by the smells and the sounds that are uniquely spring. The spirit of new birth, new beginnings and a renewed spirit dominate the senses. Recently, we observed Earth Day and the recognition of our dependence as members of the human family on the earth and Rosary M arch our natural resources.
