Sometimes we turn, in a moment, and we look - we really see. This moment. And it's as if we have been dreaming, and in that dream, we had forgotten all about actual real life. Instead, simply going through the motions.
And suddenly , there we are, fully awake- maybe in the midst of getting out of a car or doing a task or even during a conversation - with someone who really matters.
We come to. And realize we've been fast asleep.
It's such a shock- the coming to.
And then , there's this feeling of loss. Of sadness. That we could ever have missed a moment of our own precious life.
And yeah, we know. We remember it all, but it's like a faded photo, compared to real live breathing sweating noisy messy here-and-now life .
Full awareness. Consciousness. Being the one watching the one who speaks and moves and tenders the events of this present world.
Because when we are infused with conscious awareness, everything - easy or hard or challenging or of great beauty- feels so solid. Indefatigable.
Made up of faith. Clarity.
And myself, when I fall asleep in my life-for a moment, or when things are tough, a week or so , I am endlessly grateful when I come to again ; full blooded. Fully infused. Like being truly in love. No matter, thick or thin.
It's simply a gift to be in the present moment.
