Cricket snapped this photo last month while we were visiting Saguaro National Park near Tuscon, Arizona. We were there when the desert was alive with the vibrant color of spring flowers.
Take a look at the picture above. Two parts of the cactus jump right out. First, of course, the eye is drawn to the bright flowers. If you come close to pick one, or take a whif of the pleasant scent, be careful. As you see, the cactus is also covered with sharp spines.
Beauty and pain...
Contrasts such as this are everywhere in the natural world.
Flowers and spines...
Sunshine and rain...
Warm summer breezes and the biting winds of winter ...
Bright daytime and the darkness of night...
Bunny rabbits and coyotes...
Bees pollinating and bees stinging...
While we might not always enjoy puncture wounds, getting wet, having to bundle up, darkness, the death of cute critters and the prospect of painful bee stings, it is easy to understand the importance of all of these things in the elegant design of Nature.
The same important balance is inherent in my and your life experience.
We enjoy the good feeling of vibrant and robust health; but our challenges with pain and dis-ease always present an opportunity to grow, heal and expand. Always.
Remember the basic truth: You are beautiful and perfect! Always...!
Enjoy these other photos Cricket and I took at Saguaro National Park that all depict the beauty and perfection of Nature.
Until next time,

Chiropractors can do so much more for an individuals overall health than most people are aware. As more of these articles are written, the notion that chiropractors are limited to only head, neck, and back pain will be dispelled.
