There are no squares in nature

Come to think of it, when have you ever seen the following?

 

A square leaf

A square fruit

A square tree

A square raindrop

 

Coming to think of it, nature, unlike man, does not produce

 

Square moons

Square suns

Square planets

Or square galaxies

 

There are no square rainbows

Nor square flowers

Nor square heads

that could fit inside a square box

 

Yet more often than not, that’s exactly what we do.

 

We try to put everything inside a box

We try to make all things black and white

We try to make everything spic and span

as though we could put a square peg inside a round hole

and  then congratulate ourselves for the feat we have done

 

Since the dawn of man-made technology,

we have certainly lived in a world of squares:

 

square houses

square buildings

square computer screens

 

We write on square papers using square tables

We sleep on square beds and enter upon square doors

 

Where has all these taken us?

These square things have made a war with our own hearts

And against all mysteries that enrich and empower us

 

The next time someone tries to put your immortal soul inside a small box

Kindly remind yourself:

 

There are no square stars in the Universe.

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
