This Wonderful Moment



I am surrounded by so much wonder in this place.
My senses explode everyday I am amidst this beautiful chaos.
Who and what I think I am melts away,
and that which remains is pure awareness, pure relationship.

Every sight & every sound,
Every thought and feeling holds a deeper significance.
Time becomes a long slow exhale,
and that which I call 'I' no longer feels a need to force itself upon the world.

The distances between me and the things around that me are no more.
I do not see things,
the seeing happens all by itself.

The noise, and by noise I don't mean the sound pressing against my ears,
but the distortion and distraction that muddies my relationship with existence has gone.
Existential freedom takes its place.

There is no longer a need for descriptions or rationality of what is happening...this would be a mistake.
Everything has its place and explains all in its existence.

Everything is at it should be,
If it were to be any other way, it would be.
