Follow the Rabbit, Into the Rabbit Hole

Remember when I blogged about "bliss?"  It was so long ago. 2 posts ago. And well, it seems like a million miles, and a million years ago now. Like it never happened. It just evaporated. Like it was just a mirage. And isn't that a kick in the rear? The famous line, "follow your bliss" seems like such a sad joke, just another rabbit hole to fall into.  And that's the nature of bliss, and transcendence, and even enlightenment, or joy.  These states seem to just appear, descend, take us over for a brief time, and then just as suddenly vanish. It's all so ephemeral and sometimes seemingly arbitrary. So like the weather. And it changes day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute.  And we know those intense and lively moments did happen, but when they are gone, you are just left with an echo, a reverberation, a glimmer of light… that now only exists in your mind. You hold it in your mind, but it seems to slowly fade, every moment going forward. And you wonder, "Did I really feel and know that?"
