The Glimmering Glimpse...

Folk #1: There's the slog, the mud, the muck, the mire, the hurly-burly of a life, well-lived, but then there are those moments of sweet transcendence, glimmering glimpses of "cosmic consciousness" - "the sacred aliveness of the world." Sure. I have had a few of those moments, fleeting, immediately retreating back into the murky void,  still, just the simple glimpse, the hint, the shimmering moment of enlightenment stays with you. You realize that higher consciousness is always there, hovering over and around your being, dancing above you.  Tantalizing, inviting, comforting. There are some simple paths one can take to open up the doors of transcendence. Getting lost in the moment, dropping your Ego, embodying the Silence, connecting with Nature, letting yourself go, losing your self into the vast interconnected web of Life. Riding the vibe of connection. Experience that once, and you really are transformed. I mean, not talking God here, instead it's about experiencing a connection to all things. Taking it in, sinking into that. A small thing, and everything...
