and the whole world seems very strange,
in a pleasant kind of way."

dumb with wonder.....
forgetting the external world with all its charms and attractions;
even one's own body which is so dear to one,
is easily forgotten."
Sri Ramakrishna
And seek not the depths of your knowledge
with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless."
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet
If we seek to understand life (the life which we are),
we will never see it as it is - i.e. not understandable.
However, if we give ourselves away, forget everything,
and open up to the grand possibility that we are limitless,
then, and only then,
will the unfathomable, blissful mystery which we are
dance naked right before us.

"...the experience of absolute wonder destroys false walls, and does not create new ones; everything false is demolished and nothing but the real, stupefying nudity of 'what is' remains."
