GLIMPSES


ERE HERE WHERE?
Amusing Musings
VVSS #549: “GLIMPSES”
by Leon Enriquez
~~~
True seeing comes with a subjective wave of imagery, oftentimes in fleeting glimpses. Reality then, is somewhat relative to the undercurrents of emotional impulses. We are, after all, human beings rooted with inflection points of our organic instincts. We are worldly creatures of psyche and soma with roots in the spiritual realm.
~~~
No matter how calm and collected the psyche, the overall nature of the soma reflects the brief moment of conscious awareness of our space-time continuum. I see what I see. Yet what I see is, in varying degrees, what you do not see.
~~~
Each of us then has a somewhat different perspective of what another individual person sees. This aspect of human nature is manifested in our creative potential, and the way we experience and encounter change in a physical world.
~~~
In shifting glimpses, I now sense, or perhaps I discern, how change impacts outlook. I begin to comprehend and understand my space in time. Change is the way of evolution here. Yet, there is no certainty or even guarantee in change. Only the faint glimpse of something more that feels more surreal than real. Outcome mandates action.
~~~
Yet, the passing moments call out to me to bear witness to the story that unfolds just for me. And obviously for you but not the way I see. Still, alone I wander with wonder at the touch of an unfolding life story — an affair or a journey quest to the great unknown. And along the way, miracles bridge the gap between glimpses of immortality.
~~~
I live in an endless sea of void — too big to understand, yet too significant to ignore. Words hold only that much meaning than words can ever say. Beyond this boundary of a strange quandary, I realise that my soul knows much more than mere words can know or show or tell. Words are limited to describing past knowing.
~~~
In this void of stillness sheltered by a deep silence here, I seem to hear a voice in the void that calls to me. Day and night, night and day, this voice beyond the realm of words, calls out to my soul to take the road not taken. Or venture into adventure.
~~~
Thus, I learn to discern beyond proof or evidence — a truth and a beauty that embraces me with fond acceptance — that offers light, grace and peace beyond the constraints of logic and reason. I feel a boundless love that engulfs and delights me in this fond embrace of boundless ecstasy. I know this with my feeling nature. Knowing is better than mere understanding. A paradox of a strange kind here.
~~~
Yes, glimpses often say much more than my words can ever describe. Glimpses that show the way to transcend thought and feel my way homewards. Glimpses are simply preludes to discern more beyond my psyche. There is a consciousness that shows the way in fleeting glimpses. Love instigates knowing without knowing. Wisdom supersedes understanding.
