I love the delicate evocative way you have with words. And yes, I remember "Porchomania" and the great effect it had on us all.

AND there is something else here that seems to be happening. It feels like there is a synchronicity between this posting of yours and Art's contribution not long ago. If this life is like a "waking" dream, then speaking its elements as you have done here might help us discern the great and mysterious movement of Being as It/We dream and live our individual lives.

And not just that, but that THAT could lead into the great and mysterious event of recognizing that we ourselves ARE Being living this individual life.

Today I am beginning to see that awakening is not about seeing Being as some strange "other" that moves in our lives in mysterious ways. It is about the fact that We ARE Being working to free our attention from complete absorption in our life in order to BE more freely and more totally here.

Thank you John for coming forth, for Being! and thank you also, so much, for including me in your Heart.

Love, Cassie
