And There YOU Are...
A Thousand Dimensions
The air is calm this morning. It is one of those rare moments when we seem to be neither here nor there, neither there nor here.
Nature abounds. No matter where I might be on this planet, no matter the environment, the brain catches up with its spirit, its soul.
And in those oh so rare moments we sense such clarity and obviousness in a fleeting thought, that we become motionless.
You do not even exist. Something like You exists and we have no comprehension of You, whatsoever.
So we make up stories and they are nothing more than fairytales interwoven with drifting memories.
I know You exist but not in the form I am told I must accept that You exist.
You are way beyond anything that anyone can ever comprehend even in those most lucid and amazing moments of genius.
There is no sound, for I have
somehow
looked straight at You…
Sounds return. That car I saw just now is just 200 meters further on. That person there. The poop bag is successfully tied, yet when I was last here, I found myself admiring the perfect curvature of her dog’s arched back. Now, clearly relieved, he’s rushing round in readiness for the fetch-the-ball to begin.
Where was I? Obviously I was here because my satchell and books are here.
Yet I have flown at speeds and seen wonders of nature that I have not the breadth of vocabulary to express.
Above all, there You were, and are.
And what is more,
You are literally indescribable.
