A moment of transcendence.

I looked around myself and saw the world as it is. Pure.Timeless.

I felt like I was in a time when all things were neither young nor old. A deep sense of awareness crept in when I viewed the enormous uncertainty that accompanies an infinity of time both backward and forward. The future is an evolution of the present moment , and the past is what's left behind in the process. The universe is ever changing and at that moment of time, This was widely apparent. Nothing really stays the same. Impermanence.

Looking upwards into the dark abyss which yet remains unexplored by us humans, I fathom places far away , where there might be sentient beings like us, or quite unlike us, but sentient nonetheless. How would they perceive this universe. What would be their version of the story of this thing we call existence?
For all we know , there may be none. We may be the only conscious "spiritual" beings of our universe. Tiny spectators of this vast wondrous phenomena.

There is a clear difference in the level of understanding achieved between knowing all 'about' something and realising and experiencing that same thing in one singular moment. This was something I had been unaware of prior to this But in that moment , As I lay in the midst of trees moving out in all directions, I felt like I was the centre of an endless circle of life. I could feel those trees , Every one of them. The "Life" that i perceived in me was the same that I saw in them. That spark of being that we only catch glimpses of in our day to day lives , was staring at me in all its glory.  And it was a beautiful sight indeed. The nature of the trees' existence was of a different form - a motionless and emotionless one.  Their branches pointed upwards into the sky , seemed like hands , reaching out to expose themselves to the sun's radiant energy that provided them with sustenance. Underneath , though not visible, were their roots searching out and taking in the water that poured down from the gray clouds ,casting shadows over where I sat. The leaves swayed to the whispering winds , seemingly expressing their joy of existence by dancing in mute ecstacy.

In that moment , I felt connected to every living thing that surrounded me. They were not different entities anymore. The relationships between all living things were complex and intricate , At the same time they were in a state of dynamic equilibrium. At peace with one another, when left to themselves.
