"Night Stream"
There are places in space and time where the mind rests and the soul takes on another way of being. There are times when the senses drink in the world, uncensored, unmediated, unexplained, the soul simply experiences what is.
The time of dusk and twilight, when the air begins to turn blue around us and the scent of night teases at the edges of our awareness. Sit down near moving water. Listen to its deep tones overlapping its lighter notes; listen to the evening breezes playing the leaves of the trees and all the little chittering birds settling in. Be utterly still and the world will emerge softly around you. Become silence; send the mind away; wait for the soul to awaken and absorb all the life that enfolds it.
