The night expands into oblivion as I leave the shelter of these barn house twinkle lights. I am following the narrative I am used to as I drive my sister home. She leaves the car, and I turn back towards the house. I am feeling into the darkness, feeling out the edges of my peripheral vision, sensing as far beyond the scope of my eyesight as I can…relaxing into the mystery of the darkness…
I am trying to feel into the heart of it all, the heart of the great unknowing. I am trying to probe its extremities with curiosity and openness…to merge with it…to marry the feeling of discomfort with compassion and intrigue. I am trying to leave everything I thought I knew behind, to open myself to the infinite possibility of the void.
Mind over matter, mind over matter, mind over matter, and matter’s just matter…
