I woke up this morning with a sudden awareness of beauty that I could never see before. I know yesterday was bleak. Now I see it and I understand. The beauty… and I’m afraid I will forget how to see before I can do something with it. I see the beauty of life. Everything that was mundane and ordinary is vibrating with the aliveness. I see the beauty of death. The nothingness calls like a sigh from the far reaches of my mind. Death is always present in my awareness. In between it all, the beauty. Ah, the beauty, pushing out from the blackness, shining out of the living world.
