Just gorgeous 🙂

When I was a child, I strongly believed in magic. I felt it all around me. Some called me a daydreamer… an introvert… a different child. I would talk to the trees and disappear inward. Still a believer, as a teen, I became interested in spirituality and the ‘paranormal,’ which to me was just a name for things we cannot explain. Adulting within our disconnected society killed some of that sense in me. But, in recent years, I feel I’ve reclaimed it.

We don’t have the science or words to know or explain many things about our world. I sense these feelings come from our very being and something that can never be explained. Maybe it is a sense that deep feelers share?

My very first post on this page in January this year included the following words:

Words are beautiful. Words give us meaning. Homo sopien means ‘wise human.’ But are we wise?

The mysterious, complex expanse of our reality cannot be based purely on words.. on scientific facts. Aside from an involvement of increased activity and chemicals in parts of our brains, some things remain indescribable… the profound experiences many of us share. The way our souls stir magically through creative expression—through harmonies and patterns in music and visual beauty in art. The extraordinary effect of touch. The strange moments of synchronicity in life. Intense feelings that overcome us—waves that threaten to swallow us into a bottomless abyss of emotion.

Science is at the tip of an iceberg and much of what exists lies below, beyond our understanding. Will we ever understand it? We don’t need to.
But we can connect with some of it—feel its indescribable energy—by reverting to our natural state of… not human beings, but simply ‘beings.’
