A Universe Of Wonder

All throughout our most innovative decades, we have never completely lost sight of the shear humanity of the connections we share. I stand before you now, the product of my network. Built by the hands of the multitude of organisms I sometimes feel apart from. Organism Earth. Organism Universe. The cosmos in a body of flesh. Pieces of me scattered across the vast expanse of non-linear time and space. A vibrating waveform in every pore. Light particles and dark matter. No empty to be filled. No blank space awaiting structure. No emotion to it's own. No separation but of man's creation.

A game of realities. A contemplation of perspectives. A long, drawn-out exhalation cresting it's inverse. In verses of poets gone to depths lie, in silence, the meter of mother and father spirit. Each unto itself, but a reflection to gods and goddesses formed for allegorical theatre. Understanding the whole from within, while playing only a part.

Stand to the star we call Sun and pause in the brilliance of transmission. Love in every language and interpret the scrolls. Bind electrons internal with no thought of the process. In containers of flesh, bone, fluid, muscle, nerve, brain, spirit and heart. In here, the process moves on it's own. An evolution beyond our making. And beyond our understanding.

The process continues. Within us. Without us. No need attempt ask why. Just enjoy the dance and laugh as the changes play.

I alone am a universe of wonder.

Today's Buddha

Today's Buddha must be extremely pliable and vigilant. To remain present in all aspects of daily life amidst an age of information and connection in real-time, across miles and multitudes of consciousnesses is a tall order.

A Buddha in the modern age of information.

Quite possibly, the here and now has expanded. And as such, quite possibly, the breadth of one's enlightenment has expanded right there in stride with it. Yet, the here and now has always included these consciousnesses from afar. The difference is, now they are amplified. They are more ubiquitous. They become glaringly obvious and much much louder.

How does today's Buddha handle and account for this?

Is it a deeper level to attain or is it the same?

Breath is always the best reminder. The closest of companions. The one true NOW foundation. Forever in step.

To focus here, on breath, will bring you back to the harmony.
