A Present Moment Revelation
I am the bridge between heaven and Earth.
Then, there is no bridge and there is no I,
There is only Heaven and Earth.
Suddenly, there is talking, and I am afraid.
I can see the cage that holds me within.
Then, I suddenly am the cage.
POOF! Magically, there is no cage and there is no I.
And then I laugh, this must be love.

Nick Stuer

Sonata of Your Soul
Most people think that the meaning of life is complicated and hard to find, but I think I’ve found mine. All you have to do to is look for the good feeling inside, that warm little tickling on the inside of your chest. That is all I need.
Find eternal happiness in the sonata of your soul.

Dragonflies
Facing this beautiful beast and looking straight into it’s two incredibly large eyes, I found myself smile wide, and let out a laugh. What trust this luminous insect has in me. What sort of creature lands in the hand of a giant, entirely unafraid? A creature so majestic, wise, and capable as the dragonfly. And what sort of beast might look a predator as prestigious as the dragonfly in the eye and laugh? Why, I am that sort of beast. Could I not provide this member of an ancient family a perch for it to better locate and defeat the bane of my comfort, the mosquito? This particular dragonfly knew, quite simply, that I would not dare disturb his hunt for my enemy. For the enemy of an enemy is an ally. And the dragonfly is an honorary guest of my humble hand.
