Dancing Along An Eternal Chord

I dance dance along the edge of understanding trying to glimpse the eternal within the temporary expanding beyond my limitations A tune flows from an unseen musician pouring into my crevices permeating freeing bubbling gushing joining me with the millions the other seekers lonely unconnected dancers searching for hidden answers I hear I feel a ribboned connection stronger than steel within the eternal I kneel knowing the temporary is not what's real My heart dances celebrates skips along elevated beats my inner self does not retreat hungry for more I let my soul eat until I am sated satisfied my vision intensified a temporal world beyond the now is was always will be magnified the complicated simplified child like wonder amplified I hear with the inner me the part that was formed to be free my eternal dancer who feels beyond now today it's not about an answer I exist within the chord of the great the magnificent Maestro Dedicated to my friend Jane Morgan. This is my morning meditation.

Well written and very thoughtful Richard. This reminds me of the dance of Shiva. The inevitable eternal, but never to not enjoy the pleasures of the world before you now. As Lao tzu once said, "It is better to travel well than reach the end."

I must look up the dance of Shiva. It sounds intriguing.

Sir, I raise my hat to you! What can I say? You touch my inner feelings, you draw me along like a bee to honey. Why do I taste a touch of EG here? You two have do have some things in common...maybe teacher-pupil effect? // paul
