The Surface of Things...

"Skating away, on the thin ice of a new day." - Ian Anderson

What if it's really all about the surface of the things of the world? You know, just spit-balling here.

We talk about "the depths" of experience. Delving deep into a subject, or experience. Running down rabbits down rabbit holes. Plumbing & exploring the depths of a thought, a mind, a personality.

Maybe there is something to be said for skating, surfing, gliding, hovering over and around the things of the world? To reverse Cassius Clay Jr.'s words of poetry. "To sting like a butterfly and float like a bee."

To dance with the things of the world. Watch that tree swaying in the breeze, the leaves rattling & shaking. Fluid, giving. At play with the wind & the sunbeams.

If you live the life of perceptions thru your senses five you will  be flooded with all the sights, sounds, feelings, and intuitions that you can handle. 

Living a life of pure experience. Not shallow, but expansive. Exploring the surface fully. Sure you can embrace, hold onto things, but not for long. Open. Alive. Aware. Awake. Living lightly on the surface. 

Hmmm. I don't know. Maybe?
