#71 Meditation: The Wonder of Life

There is a wonder beyond explanation. And it awaits us. Our attention and our presence. This wonder is not a place, nor a time, nor a thing. It isn’t a feeling, or a thought. And most certainly not a dessert…As wonderful as they are. This wonder is beyond imagining. It is the unique Geometry of every Sound. Which reveals the signature of the cosmos. It is smaller than a dust mote. And grander than a ray of starlight. It is complex. Like the swirls upon the tips of our fingers. And simple. Like the flame Flickering from side to side. This wonder abounds. It cannot be alone. It must have friends. Wonder-full friends which play. together. And create everything. Like an all inclusive vacation. Where everything is… included. Every wonder waiting for us, The sunrise, the seabirds, the sand castles stretching to the heavens. the sunsets, the sailboats, the seashells dancing among the foam. such wonders! There is no explanation for these wonders. To consider them is to push against the boundaries of what we know. To know that we don’t know. We know only what we know. These wonders are beyond our understanding. Beyond our knowing. And yet, we know them. They are in the loss which leaves us empty. And the gain which leaves us full. We greet all their faces with awe. And head-bowed humility. Just as the tide greets the shore. And our breathe greets our heart, We greet every Wonder. For on this all inclusive vacation. Every wonder is for us. To experience. To live. every life awaits. To meet these wonders. And live. beyond explanation.
