Ecstatic Poetry

I think we are afraid of the vastness
we fear the vastness
the wild untamed beauty of our true nature

The other day at twilight,
I was traveling with my niece, Carina
down St. John's Heritage Highway
the view was absolutely breathtaking
no houses, no development, no people
just vast stretches of old Florida

As we paused to look at the primeval vista
my niece said she found it unnerving - the vastness

I told her I loved it because it reminded me of meditation
losing awareness of our limited, ordinary self

we enter an inexplicable vastness, primordial void
peopleless, formless, infinite

We feel eternal truth rushing through our veins
We are part of a larger picture

greater than anything we can imagine

In the starry arms of the blossoming Universe
we rest safe, secure and loved forever

While I shuddered that below zero night when I first realized how small I was taking in the vast cold sky above me, I, like you, am comfortable with the vastness that we come from.

Without that vast landscape, we would not be here we come from there down many many generations. Nowhere else are we more in tune with our nature. We need to embrace it and not fear it. We are a part of it and it is totally in our nature.

Feeling one with the Universe is without a doubt as close as we can come to our true nature within the constraints of 3-dimensional space, Thanks for the gentle reminder,
