intensely alive

.

.

When we look deeply into anything or anyone, 
the looking will always reveal a networking of causes and conditions,
 a fabric of inter-becoming that is vast and pervasive 
without any finite boundaries in either space or time. 

There is a transforming magic in deep seeing. 
There is a magic in love;
 magic in the sense that the moment is filled with
 a feeling of immense spaciousness and possibility. 
Things seem more intensely alive. 


The predictable world,
 filled with its opaque-making hopes and fears becomes transparent,
 revealing a world poised on that terrifying and awesomely alive point of impermanence, 
a universe dancing in that impossible place that transcends all paradox. 

To love someone is not to know a person totally.
 It is to constantly realize that they are infinitely vast and
 ultimately unknowable. 


So the voyage of discovery never comes to an end and 
the person is a focus of undying interest, 
continually revealing new facets of being.
