Reflections on Life. Colin E Knowles

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ the eastern horizon lightens.

      The black sky and stars

      Fade and vanish

      And the sun rises.

      Leaving the quarter celestial moon

      Hanging in the sky.

      You are on top of a steep wooded hill

      Contemplating all before you,

      The bush, the sky, the distant ocean.

      The dark wood opens

      And you step off the hill

      Through the thick bush and scrub

      Down to the river bank

      Cluttered with broken trees.

      Air vibrating with the sound

      Of cicadas in the shimmering heat.

      The river sluggish

      Searching its way

      Through the giant red gums.

      You clamber and climb

      Through the river edge chaos

      Hints of the sea on the fitful breeze.

      Opening and easier

      You see the blue sky ahead

      Through ti tree scrub.

      Break out to the sea wind

      Down the sandy bar

      To the noise of waves and water.

      You run to the sea and in.

      The mass of boulders on the shore

      Speaks to you

      Touched by the waves

      Of storms and still seas

      Like the faintest murmur

      A distant echo

      In its time of eons

      I was born from the magma below.

      Cascading down

      Until still and cool.

      Worn away

      Changed to sand

      Scattered

      Moved, buried and squeezed

      Folded and lifted.

      Transformed.

      A new state

      Reborn.

      I age, wear

      And change again and again

      In a constantly repeating

      Cycle of being.

      The darkness rolls back

      And light flows in

      Assaulting you with meaning

      Flooding over you

      Warming you

      Steadying you

      And making you grow.

      As the sky, the sea and the earth tell you

      All things live in constantly repeating

      Cycles of being,

      Birth, existence and decay, death, transformation

      Rebirth.

      Forever

      And within these repeating cycles

      All thoughts and things belong

      To the unity of existence

      Through simply being.

      Good and evil

      Night and day

      Yes and no

      All opposite aspects

      Within this unity

      Creating the pure theoretical

      Thought bounds of the duality

      With which you think.

      These things and thoughts are all connected,

      Some obviously,

      But mainly with delicate, hidden threads

      Hiding under your senses

      So the reality of your life

      Is that you are an evolved, conscious being

      Living in the myriad cycles

      Of undefinable

      Unity

      With no beginning and no end

      But with a universal connectedness

      With everything.

      You are standing

      In front of your home.

      You feel the light and energy around you

      Within the immensity of the universe,

      You are still.

      You let go.
