magicelliEvery moment, second, nanosecond, something happens which affects us, whether we are cognizant of it or not. A change in sound, in light, in breath, a tiny and seemingly insignificant fluctuation in the world around us. The breath of the universe, if you will.
We react on some level to those things - sometimes with intellectual understanding, but more often in an involuntary way. Those tiny moments are handled not by our thinking intellectual brain, but by our subconscious, our spirit.
Every fluctuation is a contrast from the last - goofy against serious, light against dark, peaceful against chaotic. Which of those feelings you carry with you is a reflection of your nature.
You can break anything down smaller, bring it to a subatomic level, be it matter or time. Within a large contrast there is always a smaller step, something in between. Most notice the larger variances, some the smaller, and fewer the smallest. To be aware of every one of those things at all times is practically impossible - but might that be what enlightenment is about? The ability to see every change, every motion, every nuance, and maintain that core of yourself, your spirit - allow it still to guide your reactions to everything you experience, no matter its size or significance.

Date: 2006-07-31 05:56 am (UTC)I was, on an unrelated note, going to say that you have a Brak icon and I therefore love you forever. But then I read this, and realized no, this is why I love you forever.
Yay! Friend! (Wow, I'm really hyper in type tonight...must have more brain energy than body energy...)
