When I need a break from carrying all these heavy abstract and ephemeral ideas around in my even heavier skull, I go for a walk on the long coast line available here at the southern shore of Africa.
Recently I found this rather rare item, a stone with an almost perfectly round hole in it. I've seldom if ever seen anything like it here on this sandy shoreline, so it took it as an omen.
It looks like a symbol of a holy moment. A sign of wholeness, unity, completion, perfection and magic. I threw that last one in for spice.
As a result this is my new totem item, symbolizing my new feeling of wholeness. This stone will hang well on a string around the neck as some fine beach jewelery here on my remote desert island, far from anywhere, which is a great place to be.
Nature reciprocates with our mood and brings us signs of our insanity or humanity if we have the eyes to subjectively imagine it so. What a dream this life is - the eternal sunshine of the seaside dream.
Now I have my totem holy stone, I'm ready to meet the world from a place of wholeness. It's taken a lifetime to get here, which is fine because some people never get here at all. Better now than never.
Here are some more symbols of holy wholeness that I've found on the beach recently.
This one looks like a nest, or is it a sea creature. I'm not sure actually. Such are the mysteries of this dream world in which I wonder about like a sleeping agent, like Truman in his own show who just doesn't yet know it.
Hold that thought of wholeness and don't let it get memory holed. After all the whole are worth more than the sum of their parts.
This is what wholeness looks and feels like. It's all around us. We're immersed in it, but we can only perceive it if we ourselves are whole. Resonance will do that to you.
And wholeness is not the same as perfection. It doesn't have to be perfect. There's always room for growth and improvement.
It may be perfect but that's not a criteria. And perfect can always become more perfect. There's no limit or ceiling. It spirals like a Fibonnachi, that other symbol of wholeness and perfection that we equate as beautiful in its symmetry, whether in the proportions of a face or any other aspect of nature where it echoes like the fingerprint of one unified consciousness throughout all of creation.
