Mid afternoon. Summer day. Cool breeze.
I’m sitting at the edge of the cliff
taking in the beauty of the landscape
and the subtle splendor of this moment
Something ails me
but yet I feel incredibly alive
hell, the entire world seems afire
incredible amounts of energy
all around us
some blazingly roaring
others mere glowing embers
each fire has a personality of its own
with emotional moments
positive and negative
intense, mild, and weak
continuous, intermittent, and seldom
gentle and strong licks
slow and quick
Footsteps approaching
I turn around
and see Reason in a white summer dress
coy smile on her face
hands behind her back
we exchange hellos
and a big hug
she sits down next to me
Reason, you have shown me these truths
you have awakened the 6th sense
it’s not just subtle intuition acting out
heightened awareness has taken hold
yet I haven’t meditated for a long time
What’s happening?
I don’t sense Pride
nor Humility nearby
Everything just IS…
To be honest, while I am happy
and obviously not complaining
I am a bit nervous
because I don’t know what to expect
when in unfamiliar territory
Pierre, it’s okay
Take comfort in the now
the ever changing, the uncertainty
I sense you understand your mortality
better than you ever have before
However wonderful and aware
you feel in this moment
it will not last
you will fall astray
and you have no obligation to
immediately try and set things right
and to see clearly again
to embrace the Tao
While I know Objectivity has been
a great companion as of late
I don’t want you to become cold
and shun certain emotions
You must give yourself some time
to wallow in them
I’m not giving you an absolute guideline
the path is yours
Goodbye for now…
Wait! What about that little pain
inside me that’s not going away?
Speak again with Love
She kisses me on the forehead
Farewell my dear friend…
