Some call it active detachment. Not aloofness. Rather, it’s a laid back understanding that the universe is a complex system that our limited nervous system cannot fully grasp. When you adjust the scope and breadth of information that you receive then new vistas open up. The doors of perception creak open. Then all of a sudden you see everything with a new clear and perceptive eye. It’s foolish for me to try to describe such a highly personal experience.

Unfortunately, you cannot remain in an expanded state. You need to step away from strawberry fields and back to the world of frozen structures. Biological integrity is essential for consciousness. With a sigh and a wave you must bid farewell to the Garden of Eden.

Ahh
Everything so lovely
Oooo
The grace of moving our hands
The road twisting and turning
Undulating
The beat
Summer
Wow dude
The heat
Fingers intertwined
Legs entangled
In all the coiling tendrils of experience
Mood
Little Fluffy Clouds by The Orb
